The Cottagers took us all the way to injury time before Erling Haaland secured the victory from the penalty spot.
Julian Alvarez gave us the perfect start when he smashed in a 17th minute opener off the underside of the crossbar.
But the game completely changed eight minutes later when Joao Cancelo was adjudged to have brought down Fulham’s Harry Wilson in the penalty area.
Referee Darren England sent off the Portuguese defender and Andreas Pereira converted the subsequent spot-kick.
It looked like we might be held to a draw when a second-half Haaland header was ruled offside by the VAR.
But deep in injury time, Kevin De Bruyne was tripped in the box and Haaland held his nerve to fire home the penalty to secure the three points.
