After the superb demolition of a haples Huddersfield at their John Smith’s Stadium, we started with exactly the same line-up s the vicy=tors of that contest.

The swapping of Knockaert and Cavaleiro lit the fuse for a period of impressive attacking play. Their supply of crosses mounted up , mostly to be difused by Millwall's largish central defenders. until Bingo, Knockaert terrific cross was met by Mitrović, whose placed header was excellently saved by Bartosz Bialkowski in the away goal.

Just to shake things up a little, Knockaert and Cavaleiro reverted to their original positions, and soon our first goal was created. Cairney found Cavaleiro back on the left wing, and the Portuguese cut inside into the area, beating a man before lashing an effort beyond the outstretched Bialkowski in a stunning reprise of the wonder goal he scored at Huddersfield

Knockaert soon added a second goal to our tally by heading in a Cavaleiro’s cross from the left. This, his first goal for the Club, terminated a breath-taking team attack consisting of a dazzling series of close passing.

It was now that Millwall manager Neil Harris his first substitution, swapping Jiri Skalak for Shane Ferguson.

Good though all this was though, in order to keep the Stas Chaps happy, the team were determined to not allow Millwall to touch the ball and by the close of the first half we had allowed them only 11% of the ball, we claimed the bigger portion naturally.

Millwall used the half-time interval to re-think their line-up and Neil Harris brought on old Fulham favourite Matt Smith in place of midfielder Shaun Williams, in usual Fulhamish fashion, Matt was cheered on by applause from the entire home support.

Matt had a denet attempt almost immediately but his rather puny effort was easy meat for Bettenelli who was in exactly the right place.

The Lions again started the half with intent but normal service once again resumed and Fulham looked by far the more likely, in fact Sessegnon came close when his cross was deflected onto the bar.

Mitrović now came to the fore by unbelievably controlling Arter’s shot and dribbling round the keeper who blatantly fouled him to give away a penalty. Mitro scored clinically to add a thrid goal to his season's total.

It was seveth heaven for for Fulham when Tom Cairney sparayed a wonderful loping pass to Cavaleiro who danced past the keeper and tapped in his second goal.

We brought Bobby Decordova-Reid on for Cairney in the 75th minute and despite Fulham creating more chances, te scoreline stayed at 4-0

To be absolutely truthful, I wasn't as confident as the previous two results should have made me prior to kick off against Millwall

My paranoia seemed to be borne out in the opening minutes as Millwall took the initiative and appeared determined to win the London Derby bragging rights.

Panic over, reality was resumed after around ten minutes and the cause was the switching of pur lively wingers to opposite touchlines, immediately we looked a more dangerous proposition. Flexibility and an acceptance of tactical updates during a match is order of the day with our manager and team these days.
