In a display of pure attacking brilliance, the 26-year-old was simply irresistible. Coming off the bench in the 59th minute, Chukwueze tormented the Seagulls' defence with his signature pace and trickery.

The climax of his masterclass arrived in the 72nd minute, when he latched onto a pinpoint 50-yard pass from Joachim Andersen and fired home a clinical equalizer that set the stage for Fulham’s dramatic 2-1 comeback victory.

A promise to the fans

After the match, as the celebrations echoed around the Johnny Haynes Stand, the AC Milan loanee was in no mood to downplay his current purple patch.

Having already notched three goals and four assists in just ten Premier League appearances, Chukwueze is quickly becoming the league's most feared super-sub.

"I told them I am cooking, I came back, and I am still cooking. I will cook till the end of the season," Chukwueze vowed in a video, doubling down on his commitment to maintain this blistering form.

While the pair recently joked about the "unbearable" London cold, it is clear that on the pitch, the heat is being generated entirely by the Nigerian duo.

Fulham manager Marco Silva praised the impact of his substitutions, but it was the "Henry-style" finish from Chukwueze as described by pundit Paul Merson that truly shifted the momentum.
