The 2020-21 campaign was a season of immense struggle and ultimate heartbreak for Fulham as The Cottagers finished a perilous 18th in the Premier League, resulting in immediate relegation back to the Championship despite a hard-fought battle under manager Scott Parker. Leading the charge in front of goal was Bobby Decordova-Reid, whose 5 league goals proved vital in a campaign built on defensive organization and the standout performances of loan signings like goalkeeper Alphonse Areola and defender Joachim Andersen. It was a challenging year that marked the club's inability to break the cycle of immediate promotion and relegation, remaining a painful chapter in their modern history.
