Ex-Sporting man sinks Florentino as Burnley fall to Fulham | OneFootball

Fulham, managed by former Sporting coach Marco Silva, traveled to Burnley’s ground, where former Benfica player Florentino Luís plays, and secured all three points with a 3-2 victory. The match was part of another round of the Premier League.

The London side visited the Clarets’ stadium aiming to continue their run of good results, deepening Burnley’s ongoing crisis. The former Eagles’ number 61 — who recently came into the spotlight — started the match, but was replaced by Marcus Edwards in the 62nd minute.

In a game marked by balance between the two teams, it was Fulham, led by the Portuguese coach, who opened the scoring through Harry Wilson in the ninth minute. In the 21st minute, Lesley Ugochukwu leveled the score. Ten minutes later, Calvin Bassey restored the visitors’ lead (2-1).

In the second half, Fulham, buoyed by their advantage, came out stronger and saw Harry Wilson score his second of the match in the 58th minute, increasing Burnley’s deficit. Near the end, at a time when the former Benfica player had already been substituted, Oliver Sonne made it 3-2, but couldn’t prevent the defeat.

With this result, Marco Silva sees Fulham recover from previous setbacks, now sitting in 13th place in the Premier League with 20 points. Burnley, meanwhile, continues to struggle, remaining in 19th and second-to-last place in the standings, with just 10 points.
