Two goals from Brazil striker Rodrigo Muniz saw Fulham beat Bournemouth 3-1 in the battle of two midtable sides at Craven Cottage.
Fulham made a dream start when Bobby Decordova-Reid took advantage of a slip in the box from Lewis Cook to fire his side ahead after just five minutes, before Muniz, whose performance was his best ever for the club according to boss Marco Silva, got in on the action.
The forward's first goal was an opportunistic effort, stealing in ahead of a dawdling Neto to double the hosts' lead nine minutes before half-time.

Image: Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz celebrates after restoring Fulham's lead against Bournemouth
With both teams looking to get back to winning ways after recent draws, it was the hosts who made the better start to proceedings in west London, striking early, albeit with a helping hand from Bournemouth.
•Fulham have won five of their last seven home Premier League games (D1 L1), while their seven league wins at Craven Cottage this season is just one fewer than they managed in the entirety of 2022-23 (8).
•Bournemouth are winless in their last five Premier League games (D2 L3), having won six of their previous seven matches before this run (D1).
•Fulham's Bobby De Cordova-Reid has scored more Premier League goals against Bournemouth than he has against any other side (3). Indeed, 10 of his last 11 goals in the competition have put the Cottagers one goal in the lead, including each of his last seven.
•Fulham's Bobby De Cordova-Reid scored and assisted in a single Premier League game for just a second time, with the previous instance coming back in October 2018 for Cardiff vs his current club Fulham.
Fulham boss Marco Silva:
"I'm really pleased for him [Muniz] and he really deserves it.
"When you have the chance, you have to step in and pop up and show your quality and it was the moment for Rodrigo to do it.
"The way he linked our game and played behind the pressure of the midfielders was really good.
"Not just him [Armando Broja], but everyone [has to be patient].
"He's a player who is here to help us and I believe he will help us. It's competition between strikers and I will decide what is best for us in each game.
Analysis by Sky Sports' Richard Morgan:
It is fair to say Rodrigo Muniz has taken his time to settle at Fulham following his arrival at the club from Flamengo in August 2021, but it looks the striker is now ready to take his chance in west London.
Having helped the Cottagers gain promotion back to the Premier League in his debut campaign with Marco Silva's side, Muniz was then sent out on loan to Middlesbrough last season.
However, the Brazilian struggled in the north east, scoring just twice, and returned to the capital looking to re-establish himself as Fulham's main marksman following Aleksandar Mitrovic's departure to Al Hilal in August.
But with first-choice forward Raul Jimenez injured against Everton, Silva turned to Muniz rather than on-loan Chelsea striker Armando Broj - and the 22-year-old has not let his manager down, scoring his first Premier League goal for the club in last weekend's 2-2 draw at Burnley, before grabbing two more in Saturday's 3-1 home win over Bournemouth.
