Fulham head into deadline day with doubts over playmaker Harry Wilson, who again excelled even though he ended up on the losing side against Manchester United.
Oscar Bobb is yet to make his debut following his £27m move from Manchester City but will be in contention for next weekend’s encounter with Everton.
It must be a frustration for Marco Silva, who has developed an excellent squad but may find they fall just short of a place in Europe because of a repeated failure to execute transfer deals quickly enough.
Silva clearly was not happy at Jorge Cuenca’s goal being disallowed. It is impossible to say what would have happened had Fulham scored earlier in the game than they did.
As it was, they do at least have the memory of Kevin’s effort and also that of Raul Jimenez, who seemed to defy all logic of penalty-taking given the number of times he checked his run-up, waiting in vain for Senne Lammens to commit himself, before eventually aiming for the highest part of the goal.
