Fulham came from behind to beat Burnley 3-1 at Craven Cottage, keeping their European football hopes alive. The match featured early VAR controversy when Burnley's Zian Flemming saw his goalbound effort strike Fulham defender Calvin Bassey's hand, with referee Chris Kavanagh waving away penalty appeals.

Burnley took the lead through Flemming on the hour mark, but Fulham responded immediately. Josh King scored his first Premier League goal to level the match, benefiting from a fumble by Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka. Harry Wilson then turned the game with his 10th league goal of the season, showcasing his impressive campaign.

Substitute Raul Jimenez sealed the win with a stoppage-time penalty, which also saw Burnley defender Josh Laurent sent off. The victory moves Fulham up to eighth place, maintaining their pursuit of European qualification after three games without a win. For Burnley, the defeat extends their winless run to 22 top-flight matches, leaving them nine points from safety with seven games remaining.
