Fulham got back to winning ways on Saturday afternoon against Burnley.
Second half goals from Josh King, Harry Wilson and Raúl Jiménez secured a 3-1 win for Marco Silva’s side at Craven Cottage.
The boss made two changes to the team that drew away to Nottingham Forest last week, with Timothy Castagne and Rodrigo Muniz coming in for Kenny Tete and Jiménez.
Burnley were the first to threaten, with Calvin Bassey making a crucial block to deny Zian Flemming from finishing off what would have been a slick team move.
A quarter of an hour in, Muniz had Fulham’s first sight of goal; Oscar Bobb found the Brazilian and a great first touch set himself well to shoot, but his effort went over Martin Dubravka’s bar.
Wilson was next to fire, with a long-range effort flying just wide.
A late run from Flemming saw him latch onto a low cross ahead of Joachim Andersen and Bassey, but Bernd Leno saved well.
Wilson was looking dangerous and, following a smart corner routine, had another effort from outside the box; this time, saved well by Dubravka.
Fulham started the second half strong. King had an effort from close range tipped away by Dubravka, before Muniz put a snapshot wide.
Muniz was close to putting Fulham ahead again when he met a looped Castagne cross, but his header went just wide.
Burnley took the lead on the hour mark through Flemming. Lyle Foster found himself in tonnes of space on the right and drilled a low ball across the box to the Dutchman, and he made no mistake in applying a finish to beat Leno.
Fulham were able to respond quickly; Sander Berge whipped in a delightful cross from deep and King was able to beat Dubravka after a couple of attempts, scoring his first Premier League goal.
The turnaround was complete just five minutes on; King found Wilson on the right and the Welshman cut inside, using the Burnley defenders to blind Dubravka and drill an effort to his near post.
Leno pulled off an excellent save to keep out a deflected Quilindschy Hartman strike from range.
Samuel Chukwueze found Jiménez one-on-one as Fulham countered in added time, and the Mexican was fouled by Josh Laurent in the box.
The Burnley man was sent off and the Fulham forward made no mistake from the spot, extending his perfect Premier League penalty record to 14.
Fulham boss Marco Silva:
"It's something really special for him [King]. He's been working very hard. He's a big talent and a top young player.
"It was a great second half from him. He scored and I hope - and I know - that will be the first of many.
"It was a very important win for us. It's a massive three points for many reasons. A must-win for us."
