It was an inspired performance from Harry Wilson as he found the back of the net and provided two assists in the 3-2 win at Turf Moor.

Marco Silva’s men got the goalscoring underway inside the opening 10 minutes when Smith Rowe poked home from close range after a low Wilson corner – that caught the hosts off guard.

Lesley Ugochukwu got the home fans off their feet soon after as he levelled for the hosts – but Calvin Bassey headed home moments later to restore the visitors’ advantage – again an excellent cross from Wilson.

The Wales cap then got in on the act with a strike of his own to put Fulham two-goal ahead on the night.

Burnley then netted late on to set up a nervy finale after Oliver Sonne beat Bernd Leno.

However, it wasn’t to be for the home side as they remain in the relegation zone while Fulham climb further away from the bottom three and towards the top half.
