Bournemouth strengthened their grip on a European place and extended their extraordinary unbeaten run to 16 games with a 1-0 victory at Fulham, in which both teams had a player sent off.

Brazilian winger Rayan netted his fifth goal since joining in January early in the second half to keep Bournemouth sixth in the Premier League, three points behind Aston Villa and six above ninth-placed Chelsea with two games remaining.
