When the Fulham players lined up in the London Stadium, camping in hostile territory, as they heard the loud roars of the West Ham supporters, they didn't cower, rather they felt their blood boil hot like a Dragon who was provoked.
Fulham FC was provoked.
And in mythological history, even in the tales of the Lord of the Rings and the iconic Game of Thrones series, when a Dragon was provoked, it never ends well for the trouble makers.
As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, the Dragon roared.
FWEEEE!
West Ham United started kick-off but it was almost like Fulham won the ball back immediately, due to their insanely aggressive press!
Right from the first minute, this team showed their intent to press like monsters, showcasing relentless energy on the field of play.
And for the first time in how many games, Fulham FC entered a game with tyrannical momentum, breaking the deadlock early.
