Fulham's Strong Second-Half Showing Overpowers Burnley
The Premier League battle between Fulham and Burnley kicked off with a goalless first half at Craven Cottage on Saturday. However, Burnley's dominant second-half display propelled them to a convincing 3-1 triumph.
It was Burnley's fifth game in a row without a win.
The first half finished 0-0 and it took until the 60th minute before Zian Flemming netted, with an assist by Lyle Foster, to give Burnley the lead.
In the 67th minute, Josh King equalised for Fulham.
Fulham took the lead just six minutes later when Harry Wilson found the net, with an assist by Josh King.
Burnley's Josh Laurent was sent off in the 90th minute.
The 3-1 goal came in extra time, when Raúl Jiménez scored for Fulham to complete Fulham's come back.
Fulham are now in ninth place, while Burnley are in 19th place.
"The first half was not at the level, we didn't get the right tempo and intensity on the ball to do the right things," Fulham manager Marco Silva said following the win.
"We adjusted some things at all time, and we made the players understand that the tempo has to be completely different. I felt from the beginning of the second half that we were on top," he added.
Fulham's next Premier League games are against Liverpool (away) on 11 April, Brentford (away) on 18 April and Aston Villa (home) on 25 April. Burnley play Brighton & Hove Albion (home) on 11 April, Nottingham Forest (away) on 19 April and Manchester City (home) on 26 April.
