Replacing Josh King, Smith Rowe posed an immediate threat in front of goal, while on-loan winger Chukwueze provided a pinpoint cross for the only goal of the game late on.

It was a deserved three points for Fulham, who had failed to take a string of earlier chances in the game, Harry Wilson spurning several opportunities to open the scoring.
All of Chukwueze's five Premier League appearances for Fulham have come from the bench. After another impressive cameo, there will surely be a clamour for Marco Silva to play the AC Milan man from the start in Fulham's next match away at Tottenham on Saturday.
