Fulham Going To Europe League

Fulham beat FK Vetra 3-0 to cement their place in Friday's draw for the play-off phase of the Europa League.

Roy Hodgson's men brushed aside the Lithuanian minnows to join Everton and Aston Villa - plus European grandees like Ajax, Lazio and Valencia - in the hat for the next round.

Fulham wasted a glut of first-half chances at Craven Cottage before Dickson Etuhu's header finally broke the deadlock and Andrew Johnson rounded off the evening with two goals in five minutes

The 6-0 aggregate win means the Barclays Premier League will have three sides competing, although Fulham will not be able to draw Everton or Aston Villa.

Going Close

There was one friendly involving a Barclays Premier League club on Thursday, with Burnley going down 1-0 at Kilmarnock.

A Clarke Carlisle own-goal handed Kilmarnock victory at Rugby Park.

Clarets manager Owen Coyle handed a late cameo to new signing Fernando Guerrero, who only finalised his season-long loan deal on the morning of the match, but he could not inspire his new team-mates to victory.

Carlisle turned an innocuous ball past Brian Jensen with an hour gone to settle the result in the hosts' favour, with Robbie Blake twice going close to an equaliser.
