Newcastle moves up to third after late winner against Fulham

Newcastle United won 1-0 at Fulham on Sunday, moving up to third in the Premier League and keeping their title hopes alive.

The Serbian slipped as he took the spot kick and his right-footed effort rebounded off his left foot into the net.
