The Cottagers will be devastated they lost this Premier League match

ZERO THE HERO

It’s safe to say Claudio Ranieri may not want to watch back his Fulham side’s 2-1 defeat to Burnley on Match of the Day.

First, after 20 minutes, left-back Joe Bryan turned the ball into his own net after Jeff Hendrick thundered the ball into the six-yard box from wide on the right.

And while Burnley had 11 attempts on goal during the win – NONE of them were on target.

Five were blocked by Ranieri’s men and one hit the post but the sum total of zero were on target.

When your luck isn’t in, it just isn’t in.
