Fulham of England duo, Ola Aina and Josh Maja both got average marks in their club’s latest game of the English Premier League, on a night Tosin Adarabioyo was not featured and Ademola Lookman remained out with injury, megasportsarena.com reports.
Lookman could not recover sufficiently to be involved in the squad, in which his spot was taken over by Antonee Robinson, while Adarabioyo was replaced by Terrence Kongolo in defence, but the absences of both Nigerian-born stars appeared to weigh heavily on the home side.
Aina was on from the start while Maja played as a second half substitute, with both ending up with six points out of ten, in a game that saw Adama Traore’s 92nd-minute stunner gave Wolves a 1-0 victory over Fulham to sink the Cottagers deeper into the relegation mire.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek glanced a fine chance wide of goal in the first half for Fulham, before Wolves’ Willian Jose had a header ruled out in first-half stoppage time, with VAR intervening to find Leander Dendoncker offside by a matter of centimetres in the build-up.
That call looked to have saved Fulham a point, having failed to muster up a clear-cut chance in the second half, but Traore broke in the closing stages of stoppage time to score his first goal of the season, lashing home from an acute angle on the break past Alphonse Areola, who should have done better.
The result means Fulham are three points off 17th-placed Newcastle, but having played two more games, with Newcastle travelling to Burnley on Sunday, while Wolves move up to 12th on 38 points.
