Maja Makes His Premier League Debut As Fulham Equal Club Record With Draw Vs West Ham
Published: February 06, 2021Bordeaux loanee Josh Maja was handed his English Premier League debut by manager Scott Parker as Fulham were held to a goalless draw by West Ham United at Craven Cottage on Saturday evening.
The Nigeria international was brought on after 78 minutes, replacing Antonee Robinson for his first taste of action in the top-flight and his maiden game for Fulham following his deadline day move.
While Tosin Adarabioyo and Ademola Lookman went the full ninety for the home team, teammates Ola Aina and Josh Onomah remained rooted to the bench for the entirety of the game.
Lookman had a chance to open the scoring in the 36th minute but skidded his shot inches wide while Adarabioyo saw his header fly over after getting free from a corner.
Fulham failing to win at home yet again equaled their longest top division run of eight home league games without a win which was set in the early 1960s, leaving the Whites in deep relegation trouble.
One big talking point from the game was the red card shown to West Ham's Tomas Soucek in the seventh minute of stoppage time for apparent violent conduct.
