Antonee Robinson’s dazzling run of form for club and country continued Monday as Fulham earned a crucial home Premier League victory over Wolves.
Robinson assisted once in Fulham’s 3-2 win at Craven Cottage, logging 90 minutes as Marco Silva’s side moved to 14th in the league standings. The U.S. men’s national team left back scored two goals and registered one assist on November international duty and carried that confidence over to Monday’s match.
Robinson darted down the left wing in possession before sending a dangerous cross into the Wolves box after seven minutes. Alex Iwobi’s composed one-time finish nestled into the back of the net for a 1-0 Fulham lead.

Despite Wolves pegging Fulham back twice in the match, Willian’s 94th minute penalty kick goal sealed a first league win for the Cottagers since Oct. 7.
Robinson won five duels and made six recoveries alongside fellow USMNT teammate, Tim Ream. Ream also played 90 minutes in the heart of Fulham’s defense.
Up next for Fulham is a daunting trip to third-place Liverpool on Sunday, which kicks off an eight-match December schedule across all competitions.
So no one watched? Cut back to Iwobi was the same as his cut back to BA v Canada WCQ (2nd match in 1st window). What year was qualifying? We only scored 1g so it easy to look back at the match. The way things are setup w/ National team, GB doesn’t want him crossing from inside the 18. His crosses since 2018 average at least 28-30 yards. We can agree the 18 yard box is 18 yards, correct. Each block of pitch is shaded a diff color every 10 yards. Jedi’s crosses are coming from the furthest shade most of the time. 10 +18 = 28. Is it easier to cross from inside the 18 or outside? How accurate can a player be w/ crosses at 30 yards? His touch is never going to be silky like Messi. Whoever thinks so, has unrealistic expectations. He’s the top 1% of all measurements athletic ability, other sports look for height, weight, vertical leap, track speed. His compact running technique w/ lower body explosiveness is what scouts look for in NFL WRs. With his speed, he can easily be a 200m, 400m, 800m US sprinter as well as an high jumper. His hops on his backflips are the tell tell sign of his explosiveness. He would also be a U.S. men’s Olympic gymnast. There’s no LB in the world who’s asked or required to cross from the distances Jedi does. For example- I’m talking Randy Moss distance who’s avg 20 yards a catch and the next closest person WR is 8 yards. There’s no LB in the world cerebrating goals w/ backbflips. He’s also a dual Nat that keeps his down and puts in the work. Dest is Timmy Chandler 2.0 been given opportunities without earning anything. Jedi isn’t a privilege headcase. Btw, he also covered the backline like a 6, when we went down to 10 men v T&T because Musah wasn’t covering the CBs. If Musah was a 6, Jedi wouldn’t have had to cover the back line. It’s not the LB’s 1st job to protect the back line, or score/assist. A LB 1st job is to play defense on RWs, RMs, & RBs 2nd goal could be attributed to Jedi but if you watched, you could see there was no LM for Fulham.
