JOY FROM BRAZIL

Samba showman looks Kevin-sent for Cottagers supporters

- BY STEVE BATES

BY STEVE BATES HIS name hardly evokes the magic of great Brazilian compatriots from the past.

But there's nothing boring about 22-year-old Kevin, Fulham's £34.6m record signing who arrived in the nick of time from Shakhtar Donetsk on deadline day.

Fulham looked to be toiling to a drab draw against stubborn Leeds when more immaculate timing - this time from boss Marco Silva - saw Kevin introduced for the final stages of the contest.

Suddenly, Craven Cottage was electrified as he gave a tantalising 15-minute cameo full of excitement, daring and speedy creativity, leaving Fulham believing they've unearthed a real gem after their first win of the season.

But while fans might have been wide-eyed at what they were seeing, Kevin's sparkling display came as no surprise to captain Joachim Andersen.
