Former Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno was second with 8.7% and Antonee Robinson got 6.2% to finish third.
Fulham will feature in the Carabao Cup semi-final for the first time ever.
During the 90 minutes, the 26-year-old was a pillar of dominance at the heart of our defence, repelling everything that the home side threw at him.
And to complete a perfect night for the defender, he was on hand to coolly dispatch the decisive penalty in the shootout.
Despite featuring frequently at youth level for England, Adarabioyo is yet to make his senior debut for the national team and remains eligible to represent Nigeria through descent.

Nigeria is loaded with quality in defence with this guy and Ogbu eventual invitation to SE. Just imagine Igho Ogbu and Aderabioyo in central defence. Not taking anything away from Ajayi, Bassey, awaziem, torunariga etc. It only goes to show the amount of quality we have just like in the attack.
Glory I think we are OK in defence. It is in the midfield where I want us to beam our search light. If Eberechi Eze makes a U-turn then it will be great.
We have too many options in defence and attack to lose sleep on those departments.
Thank you.
On the contrary , the midfield is okay if the coach can use a 3-man midfield of Ndidi,Iwobi and onyeka/nwakali. But in the CD, aside bassey both Ajayi and omeruo are too slow and Ekong is real not a ball playing defender as the coach will like to have.
Yeah @ Deo. I’m actually suggesting towards world cup qualifiers and world cup tournament proper.
Surely we’re not heavy enough in the midfield. Eberechi, Folorunsho, Yusuf Alhassan would have added more weight. But we can’t blame anyone for Eberechi absence. Won’t he surprise he comes back to regret snubbing SE someday.
Thanks Glory.
I don’t know why why nobody is really talking about that beast called MICHAEL FOLORUNSHO who plays for VERONA. Please check WHOSCORED && other rating agencies average of that guy this season; dude is always on 7.0 on the average
