Samuel Chukwueze Makes Fulham Debut In EFL Cup Win Over Cambridge United

Fulham welcome League Two club Cambridge United to Craven Cottage in their own EFL Cup clash. But Samuel Chukwueze started from the bench, alongside compatriot Calvin Bassey, while Alex Iwobi was given a rest.

It was a dismal performance by the Cottagers in the first half, as they struggled to break down a club three divisions below them.

Nonetheless, former Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith-Rowe bailed out Fulham with a goal in the 66th minute.

Chukwueze, who was introduced into the game in the game in the 60th minute, did not look sharp enough, and did not do offer much to Fulham in the final third.

The Cottagers just managed to see out the 1- 0 victory, despite a late onslaught from Cambridge United. Super Eagles stars Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, and Chukwueze will be hoping that their Fulham side goes far in the competition.
