Fulham vs Burnley
Despite dominating both the ball and the shot count, Fulham are stung on home turf, slipping to a 2-0 loss against hard-grafting Burnley. In a game overseen by the English top flight's first-ever female referee, the Cottagers failed to make the most of their few clear-cut chances, with Trafford also playing a big part in keeping them at bay. Kompany's men celebrate a backs-to-the-wall success that lifts them off the foot of the Premier League table, after Odobert and then Berge struck during the second half, breathing new life into their fight for survival. While Fulham must travel to Bournemouth next time out, Burnley host Liverpool just after Christmas. That's all from Craven Cottage today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

SAVE! Trafford stands firm again! Fulham make progress into the right side of Burnley's box, but when Vinicius slips through Castagne, the latter's shot from a tight angle is well saved! It's just not the home side's day in front of goal!

Full of confidence following his strike earlier, Berge seeks a second goal, taking an ambitious shot from outside the area. However, his effort rises over the top-left corner of Leno's goal.
