'Taking notes off Trent' - Fulham fans love what Liverpool loanee Neco Williams did in latest win

Neco Williams has made an impressive start to his loan spell in the Championship - and that is pleasing Fulham fans and Reds alike.

The league-leaders secured a 1-0 away win at Hull City today courtesy of Aleksandar Mitrovic's 31st goal of the season, but it was Williams who made it all possible with a glorious assist.

When the ball was worked wide to the right-back in the 57th minute, he advanced forward before floating an inch-perfect cross onto the head of the Serbian, who expertly glanced the ball in off the far post, securing the win and maintaining a six point cushion at the Championship summit.

Having been unable to dislodge Trent Alexander-Arnold from the Liverpool starting XI this season, Williams joined the West London club on transfer deadline day in a loan move until the end of the season.

And in his first two league appearances, he has already given the Cottagers a return on their investment with two assists already and today's against Hull had more than a hint of 'Alexander-Arnold' about it.

Here's what supporters of both Fulham and Liverpool have been saying on Twitter.

Fulham supporter Adam Bright Tweeted: "Scrappy win in tough conditions for Fulham. Neco Williams has made an instant impact in Tete's absence, MOTM."

@danpowelldjp added: "Neco Williams looking like a quality loan signing based off his early performances."

And @Phixua simply said: "Neco Williams been taking notes off Trent".

His impact at Fulham was not lost on Liverpool supporters either.

@owenjlfc said: "Neco Williams assist today, would love for a loan to do him wonders.

"Not been his biggest fan with us but he’s young so that can change very easily still."

@Kloppista_LFC added: "Another Neco Williams assist. This consistent playing time is going to do wonders for him.

"He'll come back in the summer a much better player."

The 20-year-old will be hoping to keep up his good start at Craven Cottage and is currently on course to finish the season with a Championship league title medal, to add to his Premier League and FIFA World Club Cup honours.
