Life on the road
Fulham have become used to being on their travels, as they made the mammoth journey to Middlesbrough for their fifth consecutive away game. Only one of those matches ended in defeat, with a 1-0 loss to West Brom the only blemish during an otherwise impressive return. After more than a month away, home comforts will feel even more comforting for Sunday's return to Craven Cottage against Coventry.
Follow Fulham away
Despite the 600-mile round trip on a Wednesday night, and the game being live on Sky Sports, more than 600 Fulham fans joined us in Boro. They made themselves heard throughout the contest, especially when Aleksandar Mitrović broke the deadlock in the second half.
Using his head
Tim Ream produced a man-of-the-match winning display, with many fans proclaiming that it was one of his finest performances in a Fulham shirt. However, perhaps most impressive was how quickly he recovered after taking a ferocious free-kick from Marcus Tavernier straight to the face. The defender was left with a bloody nose and required a bit of patching up from the physios, but was able to complete the 90 minutes and help his side see out the win.
Practice makes perfect
Harry Wilson set up Aleksandar Mitrović's match-winning header with a sublime delivery. In his post-match interview, the Welshman revealed that it was no fluke.
He said: "We spend a lot of time on set pieces the day before a game so to see it come off is great, especially in a game that's so tight."
Our toughest challenge
Marco Silva was full of praise for Boro both before and after Wednesday's win, reiterating that he saw them as Fulham's most difficult opponents for the rest of the campaign.
In his post-match press conference, Marco said: "In my opinion, from what I have analysed of Boro, the quality they have, it will be the toughest match for the rest of the season."
