Fulham narrowed the gap to Championship leaders Bournemouth to two points with an emphatic 7-0 victory against 10-man Blackburn.

The Cottagers were already two goals ahead through strikes from Neeskens Kebano and Aleksandar Mitrovic when Jan Paul van Hecke was sent off on the half-hour mark. The Dutch defender was shown a straight red card for serious foul play after bringing down Harry Wilson.
