Fulham booked their place in the next round of the EFL Cup after Oscar Bobb struck a late winner to seal a dramatic 3-2 victory over West Ham United.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The London rivals produced an action-packed cup tie, with four goals arriving before half-time. Rodrigo Muniz and C\u00e9sar Palacios twice put Fulham ahead, but West Ham responded on both occasions before Bobb settled the contest in the 78th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For football fans in Tanzania, it was another reminder of the unpredictability and excitement that English cup football can deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muniz Gives Fulham the Perfect Start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fulham needed just 13 minutes to break the deadlock. Rodrigo Muniz<\/strong> finished off a move created by C\u00e9sar Palacios<\/strong>, handing the visitors an early 1-0 advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Ham responded almost immediately. Just three minutes later, Morato<\/strong> found the net following Konstantinos Mavropanos’ involvement to level the score at 1-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than slowing down, the equalizer only opened up the contest further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palacios Restores Fulham’s Lead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After setting up Fulham’s opener, Palacios went from provider to goalscorer in the 37th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joachim Andersen<\/strong> supplied the assist, and Palacios made it count to restore Fulham’s advantage at 2-1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Ham again refused to surrender. Deep into first-half stoppage time, Pablo<\/strong> struck to make it 2-2, ensuring the two London sides headed into the dressing rooms level after an entertaining opening 45 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oscar Bobb Delivers the Decisive Moment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second half was less chaotic in front of goal, with both teams turning to their benches in search of a breakthrough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fulham made several changes around the hour mark, including introducing Joshua King<\/strong> and later Oscar Bobb<\/strong>. Those substitutions ultimately proved decisive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bobb had been on the pitch for only nine minutes when Fulham struck the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 78th minute<\/strong>, King created the opportunity and Bobb supplied the finish to put Fulham ahead for the third time at 3-2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, West Ham had no response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fulham Survive Five-Goal London Thriller<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The result sends Fulham into the next round of the EFL Cup<\/strong> after an impressive performance in which they repeatedly found ways to punish West Ham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palacios was central to the victory with a goal and an assist; Muniz provided the early breakthrough, while Bobb emerged as the match-winner from the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For West Ham, the defeat will be particularly frustrating. They twice fought back from behind but could not produce a third equalizer after Bobb’s decisive strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
