A bad night from start to finish

For Fulham, it was a night that began badly and never truly recovered.

The pre-match news that Harry Wilson would miss out through injury heightened the challenge facing Marco Silva's side.

The 28-year-old Wales international has been a talismanic figure for the Whites this season.

Wilson is the first Fulham player since Dimitar Berbatov in 2012-13 to register 15 goal contributions in a single campaign, so his absence was always likely to be felt.

But with his contract set to expire this summer, Wednesday night offered a glimpse of what life without him could look like at Craven Cottage.

On the basis of this performance, Silva's side will need to find new source of attacking threat in the final third if they are to continue to fight for Europe.
