Fullback Provides Another Assist as Fulham Came Back to Beat Newcastle
Antonee Robinson continued his remarkable Premier League season with a pivotal performance in Fulham's 2-1 win against Newcastle United. The American left-back delivered his 10th assist of the season, setting up Raúl Jiménez's equalizing goal and cementing his status as one of the league's most productive defenders.
Robinson's contribution places him in elite company. He is only the seventh defender in Premier League history to reach double-digit assists in a single season. His remarkable statistic is second only to Mohamed Salah's 13 assists this season, surpassing established midfield playmakers like Bruno Fernandes and Kevin De Bruyne.
"In the first half, we were still putting things together," Robinson told BBC Match of the Day. "In the second half, we came out flying and putting pressure on them." This mindset epitomized Fulham's tactical approach, with Robinson playing a crucial role in the team's success.
The 27-year-old has transformed his Premier League trajectory, recording 10 assists this season compared to just seven in his previous 101 appearances. His performances have earned him the trust of manager Marco Silva, who appointed him team captain. He has now tied Fulham's record for assists in a single Premier League season and is eyeing Trent Alexander-Arnold's single-season record of 13 assists for a defender.
With his consistent high-level performances, Robinson has contributed significantly to Fulham's success and established himself as one of the Premier League's standout left-backs. His ability to influence the game from a defensive position makes him a key player in Fulham's campaign.
