Nobody could get near Emile Smith Rowe
Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Rotherham United come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Fulham did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Alex Iwobi in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Fulham this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Fulham
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Rodrigo Muniz the difference as Fulham beat Middlesbrough
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Rodrigo Muniz. 2‑0 against Middlesbrough, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Fulham promote Nicholas Edwards from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nicholas Edwards has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Fulham promote Richard Roberts from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Richard Roberts has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Samuel Chukwueze falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
In brief
- Player ratings A masterclass from Samuel Chukwueze
- Squad 9 new faces, and Fulham are still learning each other
- Squad No hiding place for Josh King
