Then in the 41st minute, Fulham got their third via Nigeria-eligible defender Tosin Adarabioyo, who scored a header after connecting to a corner-kick.

Two second-half goals from Harry Wilson and Carlos Vinicius sealed the 5-0 win for Fulham.

Iwobi had a great game, and he was taken off in the 79th minute. The former Everton man 51 touches, two key passes, five goal attempts, and two tackles. Meanwhile, Calvin Bassey played all 90 minutes of action for Fulham.
