Substitution Andreas Hugo Hoelgebaum Pereira Thomas Cairney
Billing is lurking on the edge of the box as a corner is cleared but the shot has to go through a load of bodies to test Leno, and it failed at the first man.
There is a break in play here as Leno and Brooks both receive treatment. The Welshman was trying to reach Cook's cross but the German goalkeeper clattered him as he cleared it. Both seem to be alright.
Substitution David Robert Brooks Dango Aboubacar Faissal Ouattara
Lukic tries his luck from distance. The midfielder steps up into the space ahead of him but drags an effort well wide and everybody watches the ball slowly roll out.
Fulham show danger on the counter-attack. Wilson was leading it as he tried to wrong-foot his defender and cut in from the right to find the bottom corner but it was blocked well. Castagne chases the rebound and fires towards Kepa who whacks it away.
Fulham are trying to regain the lead, with Robinson chasing an Iwobi pass but the American is guarded out of play and smashes into the advertisement board. It was a painful one but he has got back up.
Goal Francisco Evanilson de Lima Barbosa
LENO SAVES AGAIN! The German gets rather fortunate that there are no Bournemouth players waiting as he parries a bobbling shot from Brooks back into the box. He was assisted by Castagne who cleared up and Fulham are holding on.
Andersen is put under pressure by Evanilson who has won a throw-in for Bournemouth. Hill sends it long and Semenyo forces Leno into a good save down low.
