Alex Iwobi broke the deadlock early on for the hosts by sliding home from Antonee Robinsonā€™s low cross on his 300th career appearance.

The hosts were soon pulled level when Matheus Cunha met Jean-Ricner Bellegardeā€™s ball to the far post with a downward header.

But Marco Silvaā€™s side were soon pulled level when Matheus Cunha met Jean-Ricner Bellegardeā€™s ball to the far post with a downward header.

Wolves, however, conceded a penalty after Tom Cairney had been brought down by NĆ©lson Semedo early into the second half at Craven Cottage.

Willian extended his 100% top-flight record from the spot by wrongfooting JosƩ SƔ to restore the lead as the Cottagers appeared set to seal a first victory since 7 October.

But Hwang Hee-chan restored parity by winning and then rifling in a penalty for his seventh Wolves goal of the season in the final 15 minutes after being fouled by Tim Ream.

There was still time for further drama when JoĆ£o Gomes fouled Harry Wilson, leading to the gameā€™s third penalty ā€“ a first in the current campaign ā€“ in the 94th minute.

Willian stepped up once more to convert and propel Fulham leapfrogging Nottingham Forest into 14th in the table, level on points with Wolves in 12th.
