It was Robinson&#8217;s second-ever club goal and his first since November 2019, when he scored for Wigan Athletic against Millwall.<\/p>\n<p>Jay Stansfield scored the first goal for Fulham in the opening half at St. Andrew&#8217;s and was replaced by Robinson in the 85-minute. The U.S. men&#8217;s national team left-back made no mistake by sliding a left-footed shot into the bottom-right corner, giving Fulham an insurance goal prior to stoppage time.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"is\" dir=\"ltr\">90+2&#39; JEDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd35 0-2 \ud83e\udd0d | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CarabaoCup?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#CarabaoCup<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9mUU88x1D1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/9mUU88x1D1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Fulham Football Club (@FulhamFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FulhamFC\/status\/1430268392225878023?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 24, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Robinson has started off strong for Fulham this season, helping them to a 4-1-0 record across all competitions. The left-back registered his first assist for the club in last weekend&#8217;s 2-0 win over Hull City and now has followed that up with his first goal.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow American defender Tim Ream did not dress for Fulham after leaving Saturday&#8217;s match in the 21st minute due to injury. Ream however seems to be in good spirits ahead of a possible inclusion to Gregg Berhalter&#8217;s roster for September&#8217;s World Cup Qualifiers.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson will also be in the mix for a USMNT call-up this fall after impressing in his first five appearances for the London-based club. Up next for Fulham is a league match vs. Stoke City before two weeks off due to FIFA&#8217;s international schedule.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old has made 12 appearances to date with the USMNT and remains in the discussion to start in qualifying. Sergi\u00f1o Dest, a right-back by trade, has also appeared as a left-back under Berhalter and Sam Vines is coming off a solid tournament in the Concacaf Gold Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson&#8217;s strong run of form though could see him get the nod against El Salvador on September 2.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"BXRhEWFxSnJxnf6i-v42gw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1334751565\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'BXRhEWFxSnJxnf6i-v42gw',sig:'9YjXGk7bcCTMVvWcL_tjRcDGv3xZthhtTZ84EfGGn2s=',w:'594px',h:'424px',items:'1334751565',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Antonee Robinson has been flying for Marco Silva&#8217;s Fulham squad in the early stages of the new season and the American defender celebrated his first goal for the club in Tuesday&#8217;s Carabao Cup victory.
