Well Fulham are leading and it is a surprising one. The home side have barely flurried into Bournemouth’s half but Jimenez has delivered the blow, as he headed Pereira’s cross past Kepa. Bournemouth have been strong up until the final third where their touch and finishing has let them down, but they have looked dangerous.

Kerkez and Semenyo have been two big threats for Bournemouth down the left-hand side. Kerkez has been a constant source of crosses down the left but again, despite not playing that well, Fulham are coping.

NO GOAL! Bournemouth think they have taken the lead as Hill heads in for a corner. However, the referee has already blown his whistle to penalise the defender for a push on Bassey.

Fulham can’t find a way through Bournemouth. The home side had a great spell of possession but it was all in front of the away side and eventually, Bassey passed the ball out of play. It was pretty easy for Bournemouth.
