Fulham miss big chance in relegation fight with Burnley draw

Burnley and Fulham have played out a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor.

The clash was billed as a relegation showdown, but both sides took a share of the spoils after 90 minutes of action.

The result was a far bigger blow for 18th-placed Fulham, who failed to reduce their eight point gap to the Clarets.

It could've been much different for the Cottagers after Ola Aina opened the scoring four minutes after half-time.

The former Chelsea defender chested the ball from a corner over the line despite an attempted clearance from Robbie Brady.

However, in those always crucial moments after going ahead, Scott Parker's side failed to prevent Burnley from equalising.

Ashley Barnes hit back just three minutes after Aina's opener with a well-taken finish.

Burnley host West Brom, while Fulham welcome bottom club Sheffield United.
