WHAT 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.

Robinson does not appear to be taking said criticism to heart, though, as he has made a point of interacting with his detractors.
