STEPHANO OKAKA TO BE HIT NOT MISS

Stefano Okaka nodded wide of an open goal from two yards against Portsmouth on Wednesday, but Greening spared Okaka’s blushes with his first Fulham goal to end a run of five league defeats.  Greening said: “He was very unlucky with the header.

“I probably should have scored myself, I actually went for goal and it went to him. He doesn’t speak much English, so the more his English improves the better it will be for him and for us.

“It’s difficult coming to a new country and he has only trained one day. He’s a strong boy and did really well.”
