Small details cost Fulham against Arsenal - Silva

Fulham were held to a 2-2 home draw by AFC Bournemouth in their final Premier League game of the year on Sunday after Dango Ouattara scored a late equaliser for the visitors in an end-to-end clash at Craven Cottage.

Fulham took the lead in the 40th minute from a corner kick when Raul Jimenez powered home a header, and Bournemouth equalised six minutes after the restart when Evanilson volleyed the ball past Bernd Leno from a tight angle.

Fulham restored their lead in the 72nd minute when Harry Wilson headed in his second goal in as many games before Bournemouth substitute Ouattara chipped the ball over keeper Bernd Leno in the 89th minute.

The result leaves Bournemouth in sixth place with 30 points at the halfway mark this season, while Fulham are a point behind in eighth, below seventh-placed Newcastle United on goal difference.

Fulham can't find a way through Bournemouth. The home side had a great spell of possession but it was all in front of the away side and eventually, Bassey passed the ball out of play. It was pretty easy for Bournemouth.

Fulham appear to be doing better now, with the hosts enjoying more of the possession.

Leno makes a big save! Semenyo gets in behind but his shot is met by the German, who makes himself big and saves Fulham. The defence was caught sleeping.

Bournemouth just took their fifth corner of the match. They have been a team that have found a lot of joy from set pieces through creative ways but for now, Fulham have the reading of them.

Billing is causing problems again. The big Dane is wrestling with Castagne who instinctively hits it out of play while under pressure. He did a good job while also getting hugged.

Billing is let down by his touch. He gets in the box and has a ball drilled into him, but he struggles to control it. The chance goes astray.

Bournemouth have had so much of the ball so far that I think Huijsen just got complacent. The Spaniard, with all the time in the world, clips the ball out of play.

Brooks goes close! He surges into the box, before cutting inside of Jimenez and just bending his shot over Leno's bar. It looked like Leno was wrong-footed.

Fulham's defence is staying strong for now. Castagne had to clear a Hill cross but they look like they are enjoying the challenge that Bournemouth are giving them.

Bournemouth's fast start is hardly surprising, they are one win away from a record-equalling fourth consecutive away win. That happened in December 2023, with a 3-0 win against Manchester United involved. I feel like I am getting Deja Vu.
