Fulham boss Jokanovic happy De la Torre on scoresheet

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic was happy to see Luca de la Torre on the scoresheet for their Carabao Cup win over Millwall.

On a night full of positives for the Whites, American international De la Torre scored his first professional and Fulham's Head Coach was quick to praise the midfielder's desire and determination.

“Luca's a really great lad and he played well - two assists and one goal," stated Jokanovic.

“He's worked a long time with me. I haven't had space to given many chances, but he has never stopped pushing forward, has shown personality and professionalism in training. He's never given up and he's never surrendered.

“I can't promise anything, but he's showed many positives. He enjoyed scoring his first goal for the team, as did Joe Bryan, who played well too. It has been a positive night for us.

“We'll try and find a solution, and think how we can use different players, in different moments, or different formations.

“The shape today worked well enough and we are open to variation. We'll check whether we can play with this shape in the future."
