Tom Cairney's stunning second-half strike sealed a 2-0 Premier League win for Fulham over Newcastle at Craven Cottage, marking a triumphant conclusion to what could be Marco Silva's final match in charge.
Issa Diop opened the scoring with a header from Kevin Mbabu's free kick, before Cairney delivered the spectacular winner to cap off the season in style.
Silva's Contract Uncertainty
The Portuguese manager is scheduled to meet with club hierarchy next week to decide on his future, with Fulham having offered a three-year extension.
Silva has yet to commit publicly or privately, and the situation remains complicated by reported interest from Benfica, who are seeking a replacement for Real Madrid-bound Jose Mourinho.
Having led Fulham for five years, Silva appeared increasingly likely to have taken charge for the last time as the season concluded.
Season Review
Fulham's Campaign ended with frustration despite the positive result. Had they beaten Bournemouth on May 9, this victory would have been sufficient for a sixth-place finish.
Their inability to grind out consistent results proved costly. Since January 2026, Fulham have managed back-to-back league wins just once.
Newcastle's Champions League hopes were effectively ended in February when a run of one win in seven matches derailed their ambitions.
