Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo admits his clash with Manchester City ace Erling Haaland was a real "physical" battle.

Haaland struck in City's 2-1 win at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

Adarabioyo said: “We were in the game throughout the entire 98 minutes, but obviously didn't get the result," Adarabioyo reflected.

Speaking about facing Haaland, he added: “It's a very physical battle.

"He's a strong and fast guy, so you have to know what you're coming up against. Every forward has their qualities, and that [shooting with his first touch] is one of his

qualities — everyone knows he can score."
