Fulham cruise past Tottenham

Scorers: Muniz 42′, 61′, Lukić 49′

Tottenham’s top-four hopes took a hit as they got thumped away to Fulham Saturday evening.

The Cottagers were the team on the front-foot in the early going, pinning Spurs back into their own half while probing for an opening.

The hosts carved out the best opportunity of the opening 30 minutes when Antonee Robinso sent a ball across the face of goal where Rodrigo Muniz somehow failed to get contact on the ball from point-blank range.

The striker redeemed himself before the end of the half however, collecting a cross before firing home the opener in style.

It got even better for the hosts after the break when Saša Lukić, perhaps accidentally, kneed the ball into the back of the net from a Timothy Castagne cross to double the Fulham lead.

The game was all but put to bed when Rodrigo Muniz bundled home a loose ball from close-range to put the home side three ahead on the hour mark.

Burnley scrape past 10-man Brentford

Scorers: Bruun Larsen (PEN) 10′, Fofana 62′; Ajer 83′

Red card: Reguilón (Brentford) 9′

A late rally from 10-man Brentford was not enough to save them from defeat away at Burnley.

Sergio Reguilón was sent off after giving a penalty away early in the match, with a second half strike from Burnley’s David Datro Fofana ultimately being the winner.

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany made the big call to drop goalkeeper James Trafford for the visit of Brentford, with Arijanet Muric starting instead.

The visitors made a disastrous start when they gave away an early penalty and went down to 10 men, after Vitinho drifted in behind Reguilón and the defender pushed him to the ground. Referee Darren Bond had to watch the incident back on the pitchside monitor before pointing to the spot and showing Reguilón a red card.

Jacob Bruun Larsen stepped up to take the penalty and scored for 1-0.

Brentford almost got an equaliser in bizarre fashion in the 25th minute, when Dara O’Shea passed back to his goalkeeper without looking and would have scored an own goal were it not for a swift reaction from Muric to clear off the line.

Burnley really should have gone 2-0 up just before half-time, when Lorenz Assignon squared for David Datro Fofana in the six-yard box, but somehow the striker screwed his shot wide in front of the empty net for what will go down as one of the misses of the season.

Fofana made amends for that miss in the second half, however. Just moments after Brentford had broken away at the other end, Burnley transitioned quickly and Wilson Odobert slipped Fofana through, and this time he finished coolly past goalkeeper Mark Flekken.

Brentford pulled a goal back in the 83rd-minute through Kristoffer Ajer, whose header clipped the post on its way in. The goal came just moments after the visitors had appealed for a penalty when goalkeeper Muric appeared to push Ivan Toney down from behind.

Thomas Frank’s side then thought they’d equalised deep into stoppage time when Shandon Baptiste’s deep cross flew straight in, but the goal was disallowed for a Toney foul on Muric.

Burnley are now eight points from safety, with Brentford just four points above the relegation zone.

Luton v Nottingham Forest

Scorers: Berry 89′; Wood 34′

Nottingham Forest were frustrated by a late Luton Town equaliser at Kenilworth Road.

Luke Berry came off the bench to earn the Hatters a point with his first Premier League goal, after Chris Wood had opened the scoring in the first half.

Teden Mengi thought he’d scored for Luton in the first half when he bundled home from a set-piece, but after a VAR check the goal was disallowed for handball.

Divock Origi then went close to giving Forest the lead, but was denied by a brilliant block on the line by Reece Burke.

The deadlock was broken with 34 minutes on the clock, and Chris Wood was the scorer for Forest, finishing deftly after a perfect cross from Morgan Gibbs-White.

Gibbs-White then had the chance to make it 2-0 when he flew through on goal early in the second half, but Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski made a good save to deny the midfielder’s attempted lob.

In the 52nd-minute Anthony Elanga also got in behind he did beat Kaminski, but Teden Mengi got back to heroically clear off the line.

And Forest went then went close from much further out, when defender Murillo spotted Kaminski off his line and shot from within his own half, but the goalkeeper did well to tip over the bar.

The visitors were made to pay for not taking those chances when Luton grabbed a late equaliser. A set-piece delivery from Burke was not defended well, and Luke Berry swept home the equaliser.

That result leaves Luton 18th in the table, and three points behind 17th-placed Forest.
