  Ola Aina Urges Fulham To Kick On After ‘Massive’ West Brom Win By Abidoye Babatunde Ola Aina says it is important for Fulham to build on their impressive win against West Bromwich Albion, BSNSports.com.ng reports. The full-back, who made his top-flight debut for Chelsea in 2016, scored his first Premier League goal, a thunderous left-footed strike into the top corner, to help the Cottagers on their way to a comfortable 2-0 win over Slaven Bilic’s West Brom. It lifted Fulham off the foot of the table and out of the relegation zone. “It was massive,” Aina told Standard Sport. “Everyone knows it has been a tough start to the season and to get the three points and the clean sheet, those things are very important. “We dug in and really showed some resilience, it is an amazing feeling. It is a long season, the team and myself have to take every game as it comes. “You have to work hard at that, keep training and putting in the effort. What we did last night, that needs to be the minimum. Hopefully, we can kick on from here and keep improving.” The full-back, who signed on loan with an option to buy from Torino the day before the season started, has had to wait to establish himself in the Premier League, but is now living out his dream at Craven Cottage. “It is always special getting your first Premier League goal,” he said. “It has been a long time since I made my League debut. "I am just glad that the goal came and I was able to help the team with it. “It is a dream to play in the Premier League and score, and get games in the Premier League. When I left Chelsea, it was kick-starting a career for myself. "I always wanted to come back and play in the Premier League. I am just happy that I am making it a reality.”
