Fulham Ends Goal Drought with Thrilling Comeback Victory over Burnley

Fulham recovered from a first-half deficit to beat Burnley 3-1 at Craven Cottage. The visitors opened through Flemming, but Fulham struck back after the break.

The Cottagers ended a prolonged goal drought that stretched across eight halves. Marco Silva’s side registered three second-half goals to secure the victory.

How the game unfolded

Burnley took the lead before halftime thanks to Flemming’s finish. Fulham then responded with a trio of decisive moments after the break.

Antony Anthony and Foster troubled Fulham early, but an injury to Hannibal Mejbri dented Burnley’s momentum. The visitors still looked dangerous on the break.

Fulham fightback

Harry King levelled the score with a composed finish. It was his first Premier League goal and a vital moment for the home side.

Harry Wilson then curled a powerful shot into the bottom-right corner to put Fulham ahead. The hosts pushed hard to capitalise on the momentum.

Late decisive moments

Substitute Raul Jiménez converted a penalty after Burnley’s Laurent was dismissed. That converted spot-kick sealed a 3-1 win for Fulham.

David Leno and the Fulham defence survived several scares earlier. But the team’s attacking reinforcements ultimately settled the contest.

Personnel and impact

• Marco Silva made key substitutions, including Chukwueze, Sessegnon, Smith Rowe, Jiménez and Reed.
• Roberto De Zerbi’s former player references aside, Scott Parker remained Burnley’s manager.
• Muniz continued to contribute with link-up play but remains without a league goal since the opening match.

Bassey and Andersen faced pressure from crosses and had shaky moments. Robinson was substituted after a subdued showing.

Context and standings

The victory was Fulham’s 13th league win of the season. It lifted them into eighth place and left them a point shy of the European spots.

Burnley remain in the relegation zone in 19th position. They have recorded only one win in 2026 and only one victory across 22 league outings.

What it means next

The result ended a run of scoreless halves and gave Fulham momentum heading into the international break. The squad will aim to carry that form into the run-in.
