Full-back scored an own goal against VillansSupporters not happy with performanceDefender heading off on international dutyWHAT HAPPENED?
The 26-year-old full-back endured a Premier League outing to forget on Sunday as he scored an own goal to break the deadlock in the Cottagers’ 3-1 defeat at Aston Villa. Robinson put through his own net in the 27th minute and was unable to help Fulham back into the game from that point.

He will now be heading off with the USMNT for their two-legged CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final clash with Trinidad & Tobago, having been named in Gregg Berhalter’s latest squad. Robinson will be making that journey with criticism ringing in his ears.
DID YOU KNOW?
Robinson does not appear to be taking said criticism to heart, though, as he has made a point of interacting with his detractors. The buccaneering left-back decided to like a post on social media from a Fulham supporter that has questioned what he brings to Marco Silva’s side and has suggested that a suitable song for him could be: "Can't defend, can't attack, Antonee Robinson our full-back."
XWHAT NEXT?
Robinson joined Fulham in 2020 and has taken in 120 appearances for the club – helping to establish them back in the Premier League following promotion in 2022. He signed a new contract at Craven Cottage back in July and has earned 37 caps for the United States – forming part of Nations League-winning squads in 2020 and 2023.
