Fulham come from behind to beat Burnley, Harry Wilson and Josh King on target...

Fulham's European dreams got a boost as they came from behind to beat Burnley 3-1 at Craven Cottage. This win moves them up to eighth and keeps their hopes of European football next season alive. Harry Wilson was instrumental in the win, scoring his 10th league goal of the season and setting up Josh King for his first Premier League goal.

Burnley's struggles continue, with this loss making it just one win in their last 22 Premier League games. Scott Parker's side are now nine points from safety with just seven games left to play. They had a brief lead through Zian Flemming's goal, but Fulham turned it around with goals from King, Wilson, and a late Raul Jimenez penalty.

Harry Wilson was a constant thorn in Burnley's side, and it was clear he was going to make an impact today too. The Welshman was involved in some great moments, going close on three separate occasions - twice curling his shots just wide and once forcing Martin Dúbravka into a strong punch away.

The chances seemed to be falling to the same two players, and it was Flemming who had the best one in the first period. The Dutchman freed himself in the area to get on the end of a teasing delivery, but his diving header was straight at Bernd Leno. 

The first half was a tough, end-to-end battle, but with plenty on the line, everyone knew the second half was going to be a different story. And boy, did Fulham start strong! Josh King had a great run through on goal, and although Martin Dúbravka saved his initial effort, the rebound fell to Rodrigo Muniz - who somehow managed to blaze it wide with the goal at his mercy.

Those missed chances proved costly for Fulham, and they were soon hit with a sucker punch as Burnley took the lead. Lyle Foster's pinpoint cross found Zian Flemming, who turned it home at the far post.

In typical Burnley fashion, they threw their lead away almost instantly, with a defensive mistake to blame. 

A hopeful shot into the box caught Martin Dúbravka off his line, and he collided with Josh King - who was quick to pounce on the loose ball and equalise for Fulham.

Confidence was sky-high for Marco Silva's men after that leveller, and they didn't wait long to take the lead. Harry Wilson stepped in off the right and curled a beauty into the near corner, scoring in trademark style.

That man again.

Josh Laurent had a nightmare, missing a sitter to level the scores in the closing stages. And to make matters worse, he got sent off in added time for taking out Raul Jimenez, denying him a clear goalscoring chance.

But Jimenez made no mistake, dusting himself off to convert the penalty and seal a great win for Fulham. The Mexican's goal rounded off a fantastic afternoon for the Cottagers, who took full advantage of playing before most of their European rivals kicked off.
