Rodrigo Muniz scored in the sixth minute of stoppage time to salvage a 1–1 draw for Fulham against Brighton & Hove Albion in Saturday’s Premier League match at the Amex Stadium. Brighton had taken the lead just before the hour when midfielder Matt O’Riley, a former Fulham academy player, converted a penalty awarded for a foul inside the box. Fabian Hürzeler’s side appeared on course for victory until Fulham pressed late, culminating in Muniz’s close-range finish past goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. The result leaves both teams with a point apiece on the opening weekend of the 2025-26 campaign, offering early encouragement for Marco Silva’s Fulham while denying Brighton a winning start under their new head coach.
