  WHAT HAPPENED?

  U.S. international Antonee Robinson's playmaking skill helped make the difference for Fulham once again as the Cottagers stunned Newcastle 2-1 at St. James' Park.

  Newcastle took a lead into halftime, but Fulham roared back with Robinson playing the catalyst. The 27-year-old received a pass in the box and accurately tapped towards a running Raul Jimenez, who scored to level the match at the 61st minute. Rodrigo Muniz would seal all three points for Fulham with a 81st minute strike.

  The loss is a blow for Newcastle, who have a much higher payroll and are chasing the Champions League. Fulham are ninth after the win.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Robinson, who has been linked with moves to Liverpool and Manchester United, continues to have an all-time season at left back for the Cottagers. He has now tied the club's record of 10 assists, previously notched by Fulham's legendary midfielder Steed Malbranque in the 2003-04 season.

  Not bad company to be in and there are still 14 matches left in the season.

  Robinson was also named the U.S. Soccer Men's Player of 2024 this month.
