Though it was cruelly taken away from the 18-year-old, there is no denying the skill of the effort, as he confidently burst forward onto Sander Berge\u2019s defence-splitting pass and cut inside Tosin, before sitting the former Fulham man down as he drilled a shot through his legs and inside the near post. That he garnered 83.1 per cent of the votes demonstrates how special a moment that was, or would have been.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-ng\/lists\/fulham-premier-league-officials-cruelly-disallowed-josh-king-chelsea-goal-of-the-month-award-var\/bltc75fe678aab2615a\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fulham\u2019s response was to celebrate the strike anyway.
