Burnley benefit from Fulham woes

-

» BURNLEY profited from two Fulham own goals in quick succession as they came from behind to win 2-1 at Turf Moor, despite not registerin­g a shot on target.

Andre Schurrle’s early strike was cancelled out in the 20th minute when Jeff Hendrick’s effort went in off former Bristol City man Joe Bryan. And, three minutes later, it was Denis Odoi who inadverten­tly beat Sergio Rico, heading in a Hendrick crossed.

Calum Chambers headed against the Burnley bar soon after and Fulham substitute Luciano Vietto was denied after the break. It was Burnley’s third consecutiv­e Premier Leaguewin, while secondbott­om Fulham are now five points from safety.
