Harrison Reed has won the weekend’s Man of the Match vote by an absolute landslide.
The midfielder’s performance was a real positive from what ultimately proved to be a frustrating return to football for Fulham, with a mammoth 83.9 per cent of fans giving him their vote.
It was Reed’s first competitive match in almost half a year, with his previous appearance coming on New Year’s Day.
He managed to last 80 minutes of the West London derby, and during that time he demonstrated just what he offers to the side, breaking up opposition attacks and linking the play for his own side.
The five tackles and four interceptions he made prove his defensive value, while at the other end of the pitch he almost set up an opening goal for the Whites when his cute through pass sent Bobby Decordova-Reid in. Unfortunately, his teammate’s powerful effort came back off the angle of post and bar.
Only Tim Ream and Joe Bryan (both 77) had more touches of the ball than Reed’s 70, while he also boasted a pass success rate of 93 per cent.
Nobody came close to him in the fan vote, with Aleksandar Mitrović some way off in second with 3.1 per cent, and Anthony Knockaert third with 2.2.
