Second-half strikes from Emile Smith Rowe and Adama Traore earned Fulham a 2-0 win at Leicester City this morning and condemned the hosts to a seventh straight Premier League loss.

Leicester, winless in the league for over six weeks, remained 19th in the table, while Fulham provisionally climbed to ninth.

In another match this morning, Bournemouth midfielder Justin Kluivert struck a superb hat-trick in a 4-1 away win over his father Patrick’s former club Newcastle United, ending the hosts’ six-match winning run in the league.
