Fulham overturned a 1-0 deficit to secure a 3-1 victory over Burnley at Craven Cottage in the Premier League. The match featured a dull first half followed by a dramatic second period with three goals. The win helps maintain Fulham's push for European qualification ahead of the international break.
The Premier League encounter at Craven Cottage saw a goalless first half dominated by limited action. Fulham's Wilson posed the main threat, testing Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka from distance several times, but no goals materialized before the break, which reflected the proceedings accurately a fair reflection of the play. Burnley took the lead on the hour mark when Lyle Foster delivered a low first-time cross, allowing Zian Flemming to finish right-footed into the net from inside the box. Fulham equalized shortly after through a Sander Berge cross that Dubravka fumbled under pressure from King, who tapped in the loose ball from close range. On 73 minutes, King assisted Wilson, who cut inside from the right and drove a powerful left-footed shot past Dubravka at the near post to complete the comeback. In stoppage time, Raul Jimenez won a penalty after being fouled by Burnley's Josh Laurent, who received a straight red card for the reckless challenge. Jimenez converted the spot-kick, curling it into the top left corner, sealing a 3-1 win that somewhat flattered Fulham.
