0-1: German Robert Tesche opens the scoring for the visitors midway through the first half after a well worked set piece led to him firing in from the edge of the area

0-2: Henri Lansbury adds a second from the penalty spot two minutes before half-time after Emerson Hyndman was adjudged to have tripped Tesche a fraction inside the box

1-2: Matt Smith grabs his first goal since the opening day of the season on the hour mark to get Fulham back in the match when Ross McCormack's beautifully flighted cross from the left found the head of the tall striker at the far post

1-3: Lansbury all but secures victory with his second of the afternoon ten minutes later as Eric Lichaj's low cross was skilfully heel-flicked in by Lansbury as he made a run to the near post
