Half-time: Fulham 0 Bournemouth 2

By

Fulham conceded two goals in eight minutes to put themselves firmly on the back foot at Craven Cottage.

After Hugo Rodallega had headed over early on, Bournemouth went on to dominate the rest of the first half.

Marc Pugh brought out a fine save from Marcus Bettinelli after elegantly bringing the ball down, and Ryan Tunnicliffe had to scramble off the line as Callum Wilson’s header drifted dangerously towards goal.

It took Bournemouth 29 minutes to turn their control into a goal. Charlie Daniels hit a first-time cross from the left and picked out an unmarked Brett Pitman, who drilled home from 12 yards.

And the visitors underscored their superiority with a second that owed a little to good fortune.

Matt Ritchie cut in from the right-hand side and on to his favoured left foot and fired in a shot which took a touch off Nikolay Bodurov to wrong-foot Bettinelli.
