Burnley 2:3 Fulham

Harry Wilson was involved in all of Fulham’s goals as Marco Silva’s side beat Burnley 3-2 at Turf Moor to extend their unbeaten run to seven consecutive matches.

The defeat marks the end of Scott Parker’s unwanted record, who has now overseen a Burnley side that has lost more than six consecutive defeats, a low level not seen by the club since 1895. It is also the first win at Burnley for Fulham in 74 years.

Burnley will have themselves, and perhaps Wilson, to blame for their continued struggles. The Wales international set Fulham up first in the ninth minute. He cleverly drilled the ball towards the near post from a corner, which the unmarked Emile Smith-Rowe headed home.

Parker’s side then responded well, almost immediately equalizing, but Leslie Ugochukwu was denied by an inspired Bernd Leno, who reacted quickly. However, Ugochukwu soon found the leveller, slotting in between Antonee Robinson and Calvin Bassey to slot home.

Turf Moor started to bounce back, wanting their side, but Burnley switched off once again, allowing Wilson to pull the strings once more.

After throwing the kickoff, Robinson found Wilson, unmarked, with a pass back into the box. The striker put it on the plate, Bessie to beat her markers and head home.

Despite a strong start to the second half, Burnley were no match for Fulham on the counter. From Smith-Rowe to Samuel Chukwueze, Fulham pushed forward before the Nigeria international took Wilson to control and fool Martin Dubravka.

With two assists and a goal, Wilson took his tally to seven goals and four assists in his last eight appearances for club and country.

Burnley threatened a late comeback when Oliver Son struck late on to set up a nervy finish, but Fulham managed to secure a vital three points to move further out of the relegation zone and move up to 13th. They move above Bournemouth and Brentford, who have yet to play this weekend.

Burnley, who are now 10 points behind Fulham, risk falling six points clear of 18th-placed West Ham on Sunday, who take on Aston Villa live on Sky.

More to come.
