STOKE-ON-TRENT, England (Interstat) — Fulham advanced to the next round of the FA Cup on Sunday, overcoming an early deficit to defeat Stoke City 2-1 at bet365 Stadium.

A pair of second-half goals from substitutes overturned the match after Stoke’s Bae Junho had given the home side a first-half lead. The victory in the fourth-round fixture improved Fulham’s record in the competition to 1-0, while Stoke City was eliminated, falling to 0-1 in the FA Cup this season.

Stoke City, playing at home, seized the initiative in the 19th minute. Forward Bae Junho broke the deadlock, finishing a move to send the home supporters into celebration. His goal stood as the difference through the remainder of the first half, which concluded with Fulham’s Timothy Castagne receiving a yellow card in first-half stoppage time.

Fulham manager Marco Silva’s decisions to utilize his bench proved decisive after the break. The visiting side found its equalizer in the 55th minute when substitute Kevin scored, assisted by Bae Junho, who recorded a goal and an assist for Stoke. The goal shifted momentum firmly in Fulham’s favor.

The match grew increasingly tense, culminating in a flashpoint in the 74th minute. Stoke’s Bae Junho and Fulham’s Issa Diop, also a substitute, were both shown yellow cards following an on-field incident.

Fulham completed the comeback in the 84th minute. Another substitute, Harrison Reed, scored the winning goal, with assists credited to Diop and Castagne. The late strike secured the 2-1 victory for the Premier League side over its Championship opponent.

The result aligned with pre-match projections from Interstat, whose ELO system gave Fulham a 95.10 percent probability to win. However, the final score differed from the organization’s game simulator, which had projected a 1-1 draw.

In the broader context of the season, Fulham’s form across all competitions now stands at 3 wins, 1 loss and 2 draws. The team’s next fixture is a Premier League match against Chelsea on March 21. Stoke City, struggling for consistency, fell to 2 wins, 7 losses and 2 draws across all competitions. Its next match is a league contest at Preston North End, also scheduled for March 21.
