"Burnley suffered their seventh successive Premier League loss after going down 3-2 against a Harry Wilson-inspired Fulham side at Turf Moor. Wilson scored a goal and provided assists for Emile Smith Rowe and Calvin Bassey, as the Cottagers bounced back after two straight defeats. Marco Silva's side struck after nine minutes when Wilson's superb near-post corner caught Burnley off-guard, with Smith Rowe capitalising to steer home."
"Lesley Ugochukwu's outside-of-the-boot finish levelled the contest in the 21st minute, but Bassey's close-range header from another Wilson cross restored the visitors' advantage 10 minutes later. The Wales forward then made it 3-1 in the 58th minute, curling into the bottom corner after he was found in the box by Samuel Chukwueze. Substitute Oliver Sonne gave Burnley hope with a well-taken volley four minutes from time,"
"Data Debrief: Fulham scratch 74-year itch Fulham ended a run of 29 league matches without victory at Turf Moor, stretching back to April 1951, while the Clarets have lost seven successive Premier League games for the first time ever. Only Arsenal (eight) have scored more Premier League goals from corners than the Cottagers (seven) this season, while only West Ham (10) have conceded more such goals than Burnley (seven)."
Fulham won 3-2 at Turf Moor, ending a 29-match winless run at Burnley's ground and moving seven points clear of the bottom three. Harry Wilson scored once and supplied assists for Emile Smith Rowe and Calvin Bassey, with Smith Rowe converting a near-post corner and Bassey heading in from another Wilson cross. Lesley Ugochukwu briefly equalised with an outside-of-the-boot finish, and Samuel Chukwueze created Wilson's second-half goal. Oliver Sonne's late volley reduced the deficit for Burnley, who remain 19th and five points from safety after a seventh consecutive league defeat. Fulham have scored seven corner goals this season.
