Fulham Women hosted Dulwich Hamlet at Motspur Park on Sunday in the Quarter-Final of the League Cup.

Cat Beaver featured in the starting XI for the first time, and Betty Barron-Clark saw her return from a short spell out through injury. 

Captain Mary Southgate played her 150th game for the Club.

After a back and forth opening half hour, Dulwich were handed a chance with a free-kick just outside the box, but they were unable to make it count. 

Fulham threatened when Chloe McNee's backheel found Emily Bird who crossed in, and Dulwich's 'keeper Saskia Reeves-Priestley had to be alert to beat Sasha Adamson to the ball. 

Adamson then cut in and sent Georgia Heasman through on goal, but she narrowly missed contact and the first 45 ended goalless.

Three minutes into the second-half, the away side took the lead when a free-kick landed on the head of former Whites striker Summer Roberts, who directed it into the top left. 

The mood was lifted when Southgate made a darting run towards goal and sent a promising pass to Heasman, but the striker could only hit the post with her effort. 

Ellie Parker prevented Dulwich extending their lead, making a great diving save in the 73rd minute from a corner kick. 

Fulham's next chance came when Ede Buchele latched onto Heasman's ball forward, but her attempt clipped Reeves-Priestley's leg and went wide. 

The Hamlet shot-stopper also intercepted a pass from Adamson to Heasman, to deny Fulham another goalscoring opportunity. 

Steve Jaye's side were awarded a free-kick late on, but Megalie Mendes was unable to create a goal from it, and seconds before the full-time whistle, a flick on from Heasman landed in the arms of Reeves-Priestley.
