Fulham beats Norwich City 1-0 in PL `relegation battle`

London: Fulham has defeated their fellow bottom-placed Norwich City 1-0 in their Premier League relegation battle on Saturday at the Craven Cottage.

The win leaves third-bottom Fulham just two points behind Norwich, who have a treacherous final four matches, and took their record to three wins in five games under Felix Magath, who is their third manager of the season.

According to the BBC, Hugo Rodallega scored the only goal to give Fulham a precious win in their relegation duel with Norwich by sweeping home Lewis Holtby's first-half free-kick after it had been flicked on by Steve Sidwell.

Although Norwich remains outside the drop zone, but their run-in - Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal - leaves them in deep trouble as they try to preserve their top-flight status, the report added.
