After a positive showing for the majority of the first half in which we explored all different avenues in search of a breakthrough, the Cottagers took the lead just before the interval when Jayden Harris’ shot from the left angle somehow crept beyond defender Jaden Brown and goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman at the near post.
We came back with further attacking intent after the break but when Matt O’Riley lofted a speculative dipping shot all the way in from out on the right flank after an initial good save from Whiteman, we struggled to get going again.
Samuel Shashoua looked a threat as he twisted and turned with the ball at his feet but was twice denied by Fulham stopper Taye Ashby-Hammond with low saves.
