Fulham 3-0 Wimbledon Player Ratings: All-Round Performance From The Cottagers Sends Them Through To The Carabao Cup Third Round

After a brave fight against Chelsea in the Premier League, Álvaro Arbeloa's Fulham took on AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Carabao Cup second round at the Craven Cottage. The home side were clearly the dominant side in the first half, with 79% possession and an xG of 0.87.

AFC Wimbledon showed flashes of brilliance; Callum Maycock came the closest to scoring, but his left-footed strike went just past the left post. Emil Smith Rowe had the chance to put Fulham FC ahead, but his shot whizzed past Benjamin Lecomte's first post just minutes later.

The deadlock was broken in the 37th minute, as Kenny Tete floated in a cross at the far post for Ryan Sessegnon, who headed it back for Emile Smith Rowe, and the 26-year-old midfielder made no mistake in slotting it home from close range.

Tete was again in the mix of things as his cross was headed in by Rodrigo Muniz in the 43rd minute to make it on the night for Fulham, taking the game further away from Wimbledon.

Fulham kept on the pressure in the second half and got their third goal through Gonzalo García to cap off a brilliant outing. Wimbledon had just one shot on target in the second half, which tells us that the third division team came up short in quality compared to Álvaro Arbeloa's men.
