  1. 90+6' There will be no more action in this match as the referee signals full time.
  2. 90+5' Yellow card Having seen unsporting behavior, Andy Madley shows a yellow card to one of the players sitting on the bench. And Marcus Tavernier (Bournemouth) is the recipient.
  3. 90+5' Fulham have a chance to score from a corner kick, but the ball is cleared by a defender.
  4. 90+5' Oscar Bobb (Fulham) fires a shot from close range, but he is somehow only able to hit the crossbar!
  5. 90+2' David Brooks (Bournemouth) is obviously not following the Golden Rule: "Treat others as you want to be treated.“ He makes a bad challenge and leaves Andy Madley with no other option than to blow for a foul.
  6. 90+1' The referee signals that it is time for a substitution and Alex Toth (Bournemouth) will replace Alex Scott.

  27. 62' Marco Silva prepares a substitution. Harry Wilson is replaced by Oscar Bobb (Fulham).
  28. 62' The referee stops play so that a substitution can be made and Samuel Chukwueze trots off the pitch and is replaced by Kevin (Fulham).
