It was a memorable night for Alphonse Areola as Fulham gained their first victory and clean sheet of the Premier League campaign.
The Monday evening fixture saw Fulham take on West Brom at Craven Cottage in what was already being dubbed as a relegation scrap.
Fulham sat rock bottom of the Premier League prior to last nights bout, but a 2-0 victory would see them rise to 17th in the table.
Alphonse Areola was at the heart of a solid team performance for Scott Parkers side, who will have been delighted to get his first 3 points in the top division as a manager.
Areola arrives in the capital on a season long loan from Paris Saint-Germain after Fulham gained promotion last season from the Championship.
He comes boasting experience for some of Europe’s top teams appearing 9 times for Real Madrid and over 100 times for Paris Saint-Germain.
As well as an astounding 13 honours at club level, he was also part of the France national side that won the World cup in 2018.
There is no doubt that the French international brings a plethora of experience to Fulham’s goalkeeper position in what is an important season for The Cottagers.
Fulham have a short journey to West Ham on Saturday as Alphonse Areola’s side will be hoping to make it 2 wins on the bounce in the Premier League.
