Fulham faced a stern test against Wycombe in the League Cup, coming from behind to level the score at 1-1 before ultimately securing a victory on penalties to advance to the quarter-finals. Goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte emerged as the hero for the Premier League side, saving three penalties before Issa Diop sealed the win with a powerful strike. Wycombe's impressive performance against a team 44 places above them in the football hierarchy was marred by an incident where a referee was struck by a bottle thrown from the crowd. Wycombe issued a statement condemning the incident and announced efforts to identify the culprit.

The match began poorly for Lecomte, who conceded early to a powerful shot from former Fulham striker Cauley Woodrow. Despite not creating further dangerous opportunities in the first half, Wycombe managed to withstand Fulham's pressure, who struggled to find the back of the net. In the second half, teenager Josh King equalized with a deft backheel following a corner kick.

With the score level at the end of regular time, the match proceeded to penalties, where Lecomte shone by saving three attempts. Ultimately, Issa Diop secured Fulham's victory.

Wycombe's display of grit and discipline was noted by their manager Michael Duff, who expressed pride in his players' performance. Meanwhile, Fulham's manager Marco Silva admitted his team underestimated the intensity but was pleased with the outcome.

Analysis: Fulham demonstrated resilience but will need to elevate their game if they hope to progress further in the tournament. Wycombe deserves commendation for their efforts and for posing significant challenges to the favorites.
