EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS | Fulham 2-1 | Home Comforts

Sasha lukic and it goes for ail Smith Row for's Record signing and he finds Alex aobi former teammate of course at Arsenal Sasha lukic seen plenty of the ball forward for Pereira to trior inside the penalty area on the left foot powerful shot and it's pushed behind mad Hermanson making the first save of the game and it's going to be a corner to Fulham Struck it well with his left foot Adama lovely move from Fulham some good crisp accurate pass and he found a bit of space just inside the penalty area stepped in onto his left foot a powerful shot from The Keeper couldn't really think about holding that he's done well to get two hands to it push it behind for the first corner of the game Andreas Pereira will take it very deep and it was uh not I think that charged it down the Argentinian former Brighton and HOV Alin midfielder played against us for them here Sasha lukic again finds Alex BBY can he cut back onto the right foot and get the shot away he does bit of a daisy cut though didn't quite get hold of it was along the ground and uh comfortable save in the end for Hermanson good work again though from Sasha lukic who's seen plenty of the ball and really has taken responsibility here's Alex aobi got a lot of talent in the for Squad now Kenny Tessy trying Dhat Tori two leester or not Defenders cuz Bobby Reed's one of them but he did well and he still slid it into the box Pereira well as he went to ground on the on the wet pitch he slid it across the face of goal he's convinced Andreas Pera there was a touch off somebody he's appealing for a corner but uh the referee Darren bond is not having it don't know if this replay will uh show anything but Pereira slid it across the keeper I think he was saying touched it but I'm not sure he did maybe this angle no he's he's let that go in the end Hermanson but another good move from Fulham and we're certainly causing him problems yeah he went to Sliding really scooped it across the face of go but he's unlucky that didn't uh pick out a white shirt but now bat with a good turn feeds it forward for Bobby dead overa Reed who goes for goal and he's forced to save out of burn Lino it's going to be a corner two ler out of nowhere really and it's Bobby Reed of all people as it was uh fed forward one thing in his mind and he struck it really well we've seen him score from that sort of range both at Fulham and at International level and looking in that replay jam it was really well struck that's a good save from bur was a good save because it was moving all around the ball and he just got between the lines there got that little bit of space between Midfield and defense it's Calvin Bassie Bon closed in down Bassie slides it back for burino in goal takes touchdowns on it just weighing up his options finds isad up here's Kenny tety floats it down the right hand Channel mun is bundled into but the ball Falls for trii referee plays it on picks out Emil Smith row bursting into the box is an opportunity it's one n and that is a wonderful finish from Emil Smith row he's been looking forward to that moment I'm sure hasn't scored a goal in uh competitive football for a couple of years but what a great finish good work from the referee there allowing the advantage cuz munis was fouled but trii picked up the loose ball and it was lovely from Fulham and that is a great finish from Emil Smith row his first goal for Fulham he's got a couple in the preseason friendlies of course but we open him and wide up really Alex aobi could have taken it he let it run behind him and Jamie once he's picked that ball up by Smith Road there's absolutely no doubt where it's going to finish he's made his mind up he's worked it onto his left foot that's a quality finish from him this his first goal in a Fulham shirt certainly at Premier League level let's hope it's the first of many and look at the smile on his face that's a quality goal from a quality player I'm sure I saw somewhere back in uh 2022 go again so he'll be delighted with that as Anthony Robinson swings it into the box and mun with a header is just wide we got the BET Christensen at this near post as we look bar post from the point of view of the Cross but uh he's only inches wide it's a lovely move again Anthony Robinson pointing him where he wanted it and he took the cross on first time it was a good ball in Christensen just got his body in uh goals side really of MERS have made it difficult yeah the expense of a corner which will uh be swung in From The Far Side right hand inside and headed in it's one a piece didn't even get the chance to say we got to make sure we defend this properly because uh it's been ruled out the flag's gone up on the far side is that a foul by fast or it was the defender the big Belgium Defender who got the free header at this near post as we look but it's certainly being ruled out the goal which is a massive relief cuz the corner came pretty much out of nowhere it did look on thir the 8 minutes as if it was going to be one a piece I think it must have been for offside yeah it's disallowed goal offside is up on the screen very unusual from a corner well he was late to flag wasn't he the assistant Jamie vardy I think is the one is he he's in the middle of the goal and he's uh he's ahead he's in front of the his Leicester teammate is he interfering with the goalkeeper but they're checking it they're not saying checking disallowed goal so let's not jump the gun it hasn't actually been disallowed it must be vardy they're looking at Jamie isn't it he's certainly not the the goal scorer but Jamie vard's in the the ey line of bur know is he yeah he was pushing him as he he's done it on every corner hasn't he there was a little bit of pushing and shoving between the two of them Hardy was still goals side of uh everybody else when F got his head on it what he's offside there is he not yeah and so to is is at the right back Justin Justin I think James Justin looks to be offside as well but for me it's uh I think it's probably vardy because he's in the ey line of the goalkeeper he's coming to a look over a look at it though well he's got to give he's got to go our way surely oh you would hope so where is he going he's going to look at the screen yeah that's further out I thought the screen is down here below us but he's uh yeah see where it is now he's heading up the touch line down below us to look at this this could be a massive moment Marco's having a word with the fourth official he's already made his mind up I'm sure see from behind the go that he's he's in the eyeline of the keeper I mean the keeper was never going to come for that but it's whether or not he's blocked his View you would imagine if FY wasn't there and that ball was headed down like that the keeper saving it but it's it's not that guarantee he's walking away the referee he's made his decision he's given a goal well it's one a piece and that's a shocker from our point of view I mean he's blown his whistle there in the 41st minute we're going to call that the equalizer I mean it happened so uh probably 3 minutes or so four that may be four but the goal's given Andreas Pereira swings it in headed towards goal oh it's Rodrigo munz who got his head to it it was arrowing in good save from mads Hermanson he got AC cross to his right hand side good header attacked it well Rodrigo plenty of power cuz he's a good 10 yards out maybe almost 12 yards out just unfortunately the keeper made his mind up he went the right way early that one's broken down Trail just didn't quite get it under [Applause] control oh they've given it back to us there's a chance for mun goes to ground Inside the Box he's hooked it up and over the crossbar messing about there and it was fast was involved and all of a sudden there a goal scoring opportunity for ful but but he didn't make the most of it the keeper locking it to uh the central Defender he tried a little drag back straight to Tori who found Rodrigo munis in the end it was vestig guard I think who flung himself in to make the block and did just enough to put Rodrigo off left hand side from Fuller's point of view will be Andreas curs it in oh near post Kenny tety got his head to it we've seen him do that a few times but it's very difficult to find the net really from that that sort of angle when the ball's coming in he got his head to it Kenny just over the [Applause] crossbar he's done well to hook it towards goal he's just got a little bit too much on it did well to direct it didn't he it that close to goal really probably too much power it went over but uh Kenny T's header from the last one probably the uh closest we've come to threatening the Leicester goal can we do something here we got three players lined up just outside the penalty area Bassie Diop and munes all making a run as it swung in oh munis took it on the volley bicycle kick from just inside the penalty area and again maybe caught it too cleanly if anything as he did with a header earlier on he's uh he's doing his utmost to find something it's a clean contact I mean when the Corner's coming in you wouldn't imagine it's going to uh it's going to taking on the volley but in the end just high and wide Stephie midi who's in the Arsenal Academy actually I don't know if he would have been there with Alex and uh Emil but Alex aobi is in here behind the Leicester defense well he's finished it with his left foot equally as good a finish maybe the keeper will be disappointed with himself but just like Emil Smith Row one of the former Arsenal front men with got attackers who just recently gone off Alex aobi shows that anything you can do just suddenly got in behind him and straight after the substitution the manager is going to be happy with that he had an awful lot of space Jamie but still tight area to squeeze the left footed shot in you maybe got a question the goalkeeper we look at this replay was a clever ball to release him in he had the pace kept it on his left foot and I think just drilled it made sure he got as much power as possible and that's what's done the keeper it's kind of gone through [Applause] him Sam out F him a 2-1 in front well the defender got dragged to the ball James Justin Jim he went into that wide area to try and contest the ball Harry Winks then just didn't have the pace it was almost like he was on the Travel later but he couldn't keep up could he with Alex aob two and a half of the four added minutes have already gone he swings it into the box valo comes punches it still here it's still for a chance for Lester to get a shot away just had to wait for it to come down there really
