Boss Silva confident better days ahead for Fulham

Fulham had to be “serious” to survive a penalty shootout against third-tier side Wycombe Wanderers to reach the League Cup quarterfinals after a 1-1 draw at Adams Park on Oct 28.

Manager Marco Silva’s side trailed to Cauley Woodrow’s fourth-minute rocket against his former club.

The Cottagers, who have never won the League Cup, equalised when Josh King, 18, scored his first senior goal in the 48th minute.

Wycombe held out as Fulham put them under heavy pressure, with Anders Hagelskjaer clearing Kevin’s strike off the line in the final seconds.

In the shootout, Fulham twice missed the chance to win it as Ryan Sessegnon and Jonah Kusi-Asare were denied by Wycombe goalkeeper Will Norris.

But the hosts could not take advantage and, after Donnell McNeilly’s kick was saved, Issa Diop thumped in the winner.
