Turf Moor, UK – Fulham secured a 3-2 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor, marking their first win at the ground in 74 years and extending Burnley’s Premier League losing streak to seven games. A stellar performance from Harry Wilson, who scored one goal and assisted on two others, proved to be the difference as Fulham climbed to 13th in the table.
Burnley’s Lesley Ugochukwu cancelled out Emile Smith-Rowe’s early opener for Fulham. However, Calvin Bassey restored Fulham’s lead before halftime. Despite a late goal from Oliver Sonne, Fulham held on for the victory, leaving Burnley languishing near the bottom of the table.
The defeat also marks a new low for Burnley manager Scott Parker, who has now overseen a run of seven consecutive losses. It’s the worst run for the club since 1895.
Fulham manager Marco Silva expressed his relief at breaking the club’s long-standing winless streak at Turf Moor, while acknowledging the need for his team to improve their game management. Burnley boss Scott Parker lamented his team’s defensive lapses, acknowledging the ‘déjà vu’ nature of their repeated errors.
Looking ahead, Fulham face a challenging festive period without key players Samuel Chukwueze, Calvin Bassey, and Alex Iwobi, who will be representing Nigeria. However, the form of talisman Harry Wilson offers hope for the Cottagers, with Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp stating that Wilson is “playing his best football”. Wilson himself expressed confidence in his form and emphasized the importance of the win for Fulham, saying, “It was nice to get a couple of assists today to go with the goal.”
Burnley, now ten points adrift of Fulham, face a tough battle to avoid relegation, particularly with West Ham poised to potentially move six points clear of them should they win against Aston Villa.
