Half-time: Leyton Orient 0 Fulham 1

Dennis Adeniran’s debut goal gave Slavisa Jokanovic’s Fulham a half-time lead in the League Cup first round.

The 17-year-old, playing in midfield with Scott Parker, headed home Sean Kavanagh’s corner unmarked on 28 minutes.

The Whites almost had a second when lively left-back Ryan Sessegnon, one of four academy graduates making their first senior appearances, crossed the ball millimetres in front of Cauley Woodrow’s head.[phone][/phone]

Youngsters Luca De La Torre and Tayo Edun were also effective but Jesse Joronen, in goal as one of 11 changes, had to make a good save from Orient striker Ollie Palmer to maintain the visitor’s advantage.
