And for Reiss, it was almost the perfect performance that his players should keep in mind as we now prepare for our first outing in the FA Youth Cup in 2025/26.
We welcome Fulham to the Joie Stadium for a 19:00 (UK) kick-off on Friday 5 December.

And the Lead Coach was quick to point out that we will have to be at our best if we are to advance to the fourth round.
“It was so important,” said Reiss.
“Not just winning the game, but the way we won the game in the second half. And this is what I will tell them [the players] also.
“They have to remember when we are able to sustain the energy and everything and bring everything on the pitch in terms of our quality and being aware, then it is very difficult to beat us.
“But if not, and it’s just 99% [energy] then you can beat us. And they [the players] have to remember this.
“And today is a top example, first half [versus] second half. And they have to just save this. And self-confidence and also to learn from this game. In terms of this, it was very important today.”
