Matchday Recap: Hastings United

On the 29th of January the League Cup game against Hastings was abandoned due to a serious injury and was re-played on Sunday at Motspur Park. 

The starting XI differed slightly to the previous week, with Kelly, Konan and Mendes all named. 

We also welcomed the return of Charmaine True to the matchday squad after recovering from her injury after being out since October. 

Fulham Women created multiple scoring opportunities in the first half. Georgia Heasman was a constant threat to Hastings defence causing problems for them throughout the first half.

Megalie Mendes worked hard up and down the line to link up with Heasman, to create positive ball movement up the pitch. 

Both sides put up a strong fight in the first half leading to a score line of 0-0 at half-time. 

Chloe McNee raised the pressure straight away in the second half, as her shot was inches away from becoming a goal. 

Heasman continued to be an attacking force, showing the Hastings defence how to be a threat. 

New signing Summer Roberts entered the game in the 59th minute and three minutes later scored her first competitive goal for Fulham. 

After all Heasman's hard work she finally got the goal she deserved, hitting the ball with power so that the Hastings goalkeeper had 0 chance of stopping it. 

Our mighty number 9, Ellie Olds, takes an angled shot and the ball hits the post and goes in. The score line is now 3-0 and the Fulham side are comfortably in possession and dominating the game. 

Charmaine True wanted to let everyone know that she was back and did so by scoring the final goal of the game making the score 4-0, solidifying Fulham's win and securing the teams progression into the next round of the League cup. 

Fulham Women will now play Dorking Wanderers away in the League Cup Quarter Finals on Sunday 12th February.
