Just Hours After The Victory Over Fulham FC Anthony Elanga & Joelinton Made An AWFUL STATEMENT About Fulham FC That Now Looks Completely Delusional as FA Investigates
Just hours before Newcastle United’s hard-fought and unconvincing victory over Fulham FC, Joelinton and Anthony Elanga made headlines with bold claims that now appear rather delusional. Both players reportedly dismissed Fulham as a “RELEGATION_THREATENED side,” implying the London club would pose little challenge. However, the match that followed painted an entirely different picture.
Despite Newcastle securing the three points, their performance lacked the dominance and control many expected. Fulham, far from being the timid outfit Joelinton and Elanga described, pressed high, created chances, and exposed defensive gaps in the Magpies’ structure. Their spirited display silenced doubters and proved that they are not the pushovers some critics have labeled them to be.
Football has a way of humbling overconfidence, and this game served as a reminder that no Premier League side can be underestimated. Fulham’s resilience and tactical awareness under Marco Silva showed a team determined to fight for every point. For Joelinton and Elanga, their pre-match comments might serve as a lesson in caution—words can quickly come back to haunt, especially in the ever-unpredictable world of English football.
In the end, Newcastle got the win, but it was Fulham who earned the respect.
