Fulham's offensive firepower overwhelmed Burnley in a 3-1 victory at the Cottage. The home side generated 3.15 expected goals compared to just 1.24 for the visitors, outshooting Burnley 22-9 overall and dominating 56% of the possession.

The key tactical difference was Fulham's ability to carve open the Burnley defense in transition. The Cottagers completed 442 of their 518 passes (85%) and had 17 shots from inside the box, with two goals coming from quick counterattacks. In contrast, Burnley's tactics were too passive, failing to press high or take advantage of Fulham's aggressive wing-backs. Zeki Flemming's opener for the visitors was a rare moment of incision, but Fulham quickly responded with goals from Josh King and Harry Wilson to turn the game around.

Fulham manager Marco Silva will be pleased with how his side bounced back from an early setback, while Burnley boss Vincent Kompany will be frustrated by his team's inability to sustain an attacking threat. The red card for Josh Laurent in stoppage time compounded Burnley's misery, as Fulham's Willian Jimenez converted a late penalty to add gloss to the scoreline.

While Fulham's attacking verve was the headline, the defensive work of Antonee Robinson and Harrison Reed was also crucial. Robinson made three tackles and Reed won five duels, helping the home side limit Burnley's chances and control the tempo of the game.
