Sponsored by. DANGO OUATTARO turned the tables on late show hosts Fulham to keep Bournemouth’s remarkable European dream on track. The Cherries sub grabbed an equaliser in the 89th minute that rescued a point for his massively-depleted team. Injuries and suspensions meant boss Andono Iraola had to name four academy kids and two keepers on his bench.

But the lack of numbers did not dampen their spirits and twice they fought from behind to salvage a hard-won point. It was also a lesson for Fulham who have developed a knack of turning up late to claim vital points as they too chase the prospect of the Europa League next season.

They even thought they had won it when last-gasp specialist Harry Wilson produced a classy header to give his team the lead with 18 minutes to go. That is relatively early by his standards - just five days ago Wilson grabbed an 82nd minute equaliser from which Fulham went on to claim a first Premier League win at Chelsea.

He also struck twice in second half injury time to beat Brentford and scored late against Crystal Palace. But it was Bournemouth’s turn to snatch something from nothing when sub Quattro was allowed a simple tap in the 89th minute after a defensive cock up.

Issa Diop’s mishit clearance led to Antione Semenyo crossing for Quattro to bury a shot at the far post. BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS. Both teams can still look back on a positive Christmas period as the Festive fixture season draws to a close.
