Fulham 2-1 Sunderland

Fulham came from behind to secure a 2-1 home victory over relegated Sunderland and move up to second place in the Sky Bet Championship.
The Cottagers - owned by Shahid Khan, the US businessman who this week launched a near £1billion bid to buy Wembley - recovered after falling behind to a 28th-minute goal from Joel Asoro.
Lucas Piazon levelled just before the break after the visitors had strong claims for a penalty turned down, before Aleksandar Mitrovic won it with his 12th goal since arriving on loan from Newcastle in January.
Victory moved the Cottagers two points above Cardiff, with the Welsh club facing Hull on Saturday, ensuring the fight to secure automatic promotion will go into the final game of the season.
