Manor Solomon's goal in the Fulham uniform against Wolves (Sport1)
The 25th round in the Premier League will start tonight with the meeting between Fulham and Wolves, which in the Kingdom was expected to be Manor Solomon's first in the lineup in a Premier League game, but coach Marco Silva chose not to, who only brought the Israeli off the bench at the start of the second half and trailing 1:0.
After coming off the bench in the last two rounds and scoring twice in the 88th minute, and also thanks to the fact that local star Aleksandar Mitrovic was out of the squad for the second week in a row due to injury, in England it was estimated that Solomon might replace Harry Wilson in the lineup and Carlos Vinicius, who played for him last week, would also start on the wing. But of the two, only the Brazilian got credit when he replaced Wilson and the DeCordova-Reed host wing.
In the first half, Fulham presented one of their worst games of the season and fell behind when Raul Jimenez headed Pablo Sarabia, who scored his first goal in the Premier League in the 23rd minute.
To her delight, Solomon who came off the bench at half time took the ball in the 64th minute, fired a curling ball into the far corner and reached three consecutive Premier League goals.
Thanks to the goal, Solomon became the first Israeli in the history of the Premier League to score three consecutive rounds and the second overall to do so, equaling Ronnie Rosenthal who recorded the same feat in 1992 (even before the league became the Premier League).

In the last round, Fulham won at Brighton with that dramatic goal by Solomon and thanks to the 0:1 from the Israeli foot, they opened up a three-point advantage over Brighton and established themselves in sixth place - if they beat Wolves, they will also stick with fourth-placed Newcastle, although the Magpies have two games left compared to Marco Silva and his players.
In the last round, Wolves unexpectedly lost at home 1:0 to Bournemouth and stumbled after two consecutive Premier League victories, remaining in 15th place and the gap from the red line shrunk to only three points.
