Likewise at Craven Cottage. Fulham have impressed, but it remains goalless.
Three first-half goals at St Mary's. The second half is underway.
GOAL! Fulham 1-0 Everton (Tom Cairney, 46 minutes)
It had been coming!
Straight from the restart, Fulham get a deserved goal.
Everton are slow in settling down and Ryan Babel capitalises, beating a couple before finding Tom Cairney who finishes well into the corner.
Neil Warnock is waiting...
NO PENALTY! How he'll be seething!
He is. He's berating the fourth official.
There are two handball incidents in quick succession, the first one certainly isn't handball, and the second one doesn't look to be either. Innocuous. Ben Mee is the player. It has hit his arm, but that's the right decision in the end.
Neil Warnock is absolutely furious.
Burnley 1-0 Cardiff, 51 minutes
So it will stay at 1-0 for the time being.
The assistant was sure of the penalty, waved his flag as such, but after a consultation, Mike Dean decided to rule it out.
