0-1: Brett Pitman puts the visitors one goal to the good as a low cross from the left found an unmarked Pitman who put a left-footed finish past Bettinelli, who perhaps could have done better

0-2: Bournemouth were two up on 37 minutes, Matt Ritchie cutting inside from the right wing and striking a shot from outside the area which took a deflection off of Nikolay Bodurov before finding the back of the net

0-3: Pitman scores his second of the night on the hour mark with a sensational run from the halfway line, taking it past three players before slotting past Marcus Bettinelli

1-3: Matt Smith scores his first goal for Fulham; put through by Ross McCormack he slammed the ball past Boruc high into the roof of the net

Fernando Amorebieta gets a straight red card after bringing down Callum Wilson as the last man

1-4: From the resulting free-kick, Matt Ritchie slams in the lay-off from 20 yards out to compound Fulham's misery further

1-5: Centre-half Steve Cook scores a stunning goal in the 84th minute. Following a half clearance from a corner, Cook struck a right footed shot from out wide on the right of the box that flew into the top far corner of the net
