Early strike enough for rotated Fulham to ease by Rotherham in FA Cup
Fulham have progressed to the next round of the FA Cup, following a 1-0 win over Rotherham.
The Cottagers have a League Cup semi-final first leg against Liverpool on Wednesday, so Marco Silva prioritised the trip to Anfield as he made eight changes from the New Year's Eve win over Arsenal.
Silva's reserves were still strong enough to leave Rotherham without an away victory since November 2022 as Bobby De Cordova-Reid bagged the winner from the edge of the area in the 24th minute.
Jordan Hugill thought he had levelled the score for Rotherham just moments later, but his effort was ruled out for offside, and ultimately the Yorkshire side were sent home without registering a single shot on target.
After the match, Fulham boss Silva said: "Going through in the competition was our aim, our desire was clear and we deserved it."
