After a bright competitive debut, in the unlucky loss to Arsenal, he supplied the corner at Fulham that was headed by Yoro, only for it to deflect and go in off Rodrigo Muniz, to be awarded as an own goal and deny Mbeumo the assist.
He scored his first goal for the club to start the ultimately unsuccessful comeback at Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup, with a fine solo effort in the 2-2 draw.
Although it was his second penalty that ended the lengthy shootout, when crashing off the underside of the bar, this could not detract from his contribution to his early days as a Red.
