Eye-catching performers

Ola Aina

Regardless of that wonder strike, Aina played a great game down the right-hand side. Made effective overlapping and underlapping runs and defended with ease. The 24-year-old blocked 1 shot and recorded 1 interception as well. He wasn’t dribbled past a single time in the whole game. Completed 2 long balls and won 3 duals. Aina also attempted 2 dribbles with both being impressively successful.

Andersen and Adarabioyo

The defensive performances since the start of the season have been dreadful. Continuous changes were made by Scott Parker to find the right pairing at the back. It looks like with new signing Andersen and Adarabioyo the manager has got two defenders who communicate and defend properly. The duo was not fancy against West Brom but a clean sheet seemed like a miracle for the home side. The partnership could be crucial for Fulham’s survival chances but they will have to keep them fit.

André-Frank Zambo Anguissa

In the midfield as well it seems like the perfect balance has been found by Scott Parker. Anguissa’s ball-carrying ability is sublime and against West Brom, he beat the press on various occasions. Recorded a passing accuracy of 81.3% by playing 3 long balls in the process. The 24-year-old completed an outstanding 6 dribbles as well. Anguissa defensively was also spot on with blocking 1 shot and registering 2 interceptions. He also won 3 tackles with 11 ground duals as well. His defensive reliability allowed Cairney to push forward and assist more in the final third.
