Josh King has been one of the real standouts for Fulham in his first season playing in the first team at Craven Cottage.

The 18-year-old played with a real maturity in the first half, taking the ball in dangerous areas and looking to build attacks.

He had a shot deflected over from the edge of the box and forced Daivd Raya into a smart piece of goalkeeping to tip the ball over the bar after King crossed following a mazy dribble.

King started his first match for the England Under-21s on Monday and Marco Silva will be delighted with the progress that the youngster has made already this season - even if the manager will be disappointed to lose the game to Arsenal.
