After putting out such a valiant performance already for 70 minutes, to concede in such a manner, all the Fulham players felt deflated.
All their efforts through 70 minutes was for naught.
All of them felt distraught but even in the distraughtness of this situation was when a certain Fulham player's mentality reared its head again.
When Cole Palmer scored the goal, Sam tracked back, pursuing the English midfielder so he had VIP view of the amazing goal.
Having VIP view of the goal did not crack his spirit though.
Instead, it only provoked his competitive spirit even more.
Sam's eyes were wide again, burning with a fiery zeal to win, a determination to give his all, and an acknowledgement that he could not do it alone.
"Come on!" Sam clapped, roaring at his teammates.
"It's not over yet, we can still do it!"
