Dango Ouattara came off the bench to rescue a point for Bournemouth at Fulham as both sides took their unbeaten runs to seven Premier League games.

With the Cherries pushing forward in search of a late leveller, Outtara latched on to a loose ball in the box in the 89th minute and produced a cheeky dink over the onrushing Bernd Leno.

Harry Wilson thought he had given Fulham all three points in the 72nd minute with a superb header from Antonee Robinson’s tempting ball into the box.

Mexican striker Raul Jimenez scored his sixth goal of the season to put the hosts ahead in the 40th minute after he capitalised on some poor Cherries defending from a corner.

Bournemouth made it 1-1 six minutes into the second half when Evanilson ended his barren run of seven games without scoring, producing an expertly executed finish from a tight angle.

In a feisty affair, Fulham were incensed in the first half when Cherries midfielder Ryan Christie avoided a red card for a studs-up tackle on Robinson, but the video assistant referee (VAR) review deemed a yellow card sufficient.

Marco Silva’s side may well be disappointed not to have claimed victory in an entertaining encounter, with Jimenez coming close to a second goal, but Dean Huijsen was positioned well to head off the line.

With his earlier effort, though, the Fulham forward became the joint-highest scoring Mexican in the Premier League as he drew level with former Manchester United and West Ham frontman Javier Hernandez on 53.

Fulham, who are in eighth place, host Ipswich Town next on 5 January, while sixth-placed Bournemouth welcome Everton to Vitality Stadium a day earlier.
