Ipswich stun Fulham late as visitors drop to bottom

Fulham are bottom of the Premier League after losing 2-1 at Ipswich to two goals from the 88th minute onwards.

Ryan Sessegnon had put Fulham in front. Ipswich hit back at the death to take all three points, according to BBC.

The defeat left Fulham without a win from their first six league games. They have two points and sit last in the table.

It continued a painful pattern. Fulham have conceded in the final 15 minutes in four of those six matches. Late leads have kept slipping away.

Before this trip, Fulham had already gone winless through their first five games, a run flagged in the league's Matchweek 6 preview, per the Premier League.

Head coach Alvaro Arbeloa faced questions about his future after the Ipswich loss. He was defiant.

"I never worry about my position," Arbeloa said, as reported by BBC. "I don't feel fear. You cannot be a coach if you feel it."

Fulham later published his post-match press conference on the club website, per Fulham FC.

Arbeloa is still early in the job. Marco Silva left Fulham in the summer to become head coach of Benfica, and Arbeloa has been tasked with leading what comes next.

He had already urged patience during a difficult start in September, when Reuters reported Fulham were struggling for results and goals early under him.

For supporters, the manner of this loss will sting more than the table. To lead away from home and lose it in the last few minutes is the kind of defeat that stays with you.

The task is now simple. Fulham need a first win, and they need to hold a lead to the final whistle.
