Fulham striker Sheyi Ojo vows to kick on after finding his scoring mojo

Sheyi Ojo put seven weeks of injury frustration behind him with two goals in Fulham’s 5-4 win at Sheffield United on Tuesday and he hopes that impressive comeback can kickstart a good run of form.

Striker Ojo, on loan from Liverpool, dislocated his shoulder against QPR in September and was out for almost two months before he returned with a bang at Bramall Lane.

The 20-year-old was overshadowed by a stunning hat-trick from Ryan Sessegnon but his display was a real plus point for Fulham.

Ojo, who was a regular under Slavisa Jokanovic before his injury, had failed to score in seven previous appearances before his brace.

He admits Fulham fans have yet to see the best of him but, fit again, he now wants to build on his display at Bramall Lane and help the team climb towards the play-off places.

“I have been involved in games where there have been a lot of goals but not like Tuesday!” said Oji, ahead of Saturday's game against Millwall at Craven Cottage.

“It was crazy and to be back playing again and to be able to contribute to the three points meant it was a special night.

“It was going well before I had the injury setback. But I worked hard during my rehab to come back earlier than I was supposed to. The Sheffield game was a stepping stone in what I believe can be. In terms of end product and helping the team, it was a good performance.

“I believe there is more to come. I just need to get consistent games under my belt. The main reason I came here was to enjoy my football and get as much game time as I can and help us with that main aim of getting promotion.”

Ojo’s injury lay-off coincided with a slump in form for Fulham, who failed to win in the six matches he missed.

Fulham are in danger of falling out of the promotion picture but Ojo believes the nature of their win against Sheffield United means it could be a turning point in their season.

They are six points outside of the top six and Ojo says: “It could be a massive result. We had not won in a while and we will look to build on this now. It was a great confidence booster.

“Not just for the attacking players but also for the defenders to keep the winning mentality, we needed in that crazy last five minutes to hold on when Sheffield United were pushing.”

Ojo was part of the England side that won the Under-20 World Cup last summer and Liverpool loaned him to Fulham so he would get regular football this season.

He wants to return to Liverpool to fight for a first-team place under Jurgen Klopp. “To have a good, solid season under my belt will put me in a good position next season to be playing for Liverpool,” said Ojo.

“I am looking to build on that display against Sheffield. The important thing for the team was to grind out a result and, hopefully, we can kick on now.”

Millwall are without a win in five matches but they have recorded three draws in that run.

Lions defender Conor McLaughlin says: “We haven’t been playing to our best but we are still picking up points in what is a difficult league. And that is the main thing.”
