The victory - that came after three successive 1-1 draws - moved the Cottagers up to seventh place in the Sky Bet Championship. But they were facing a Wigan side boosted by a 2-0 victory over Charlton, their first win since the opening day of the season. The chance came about after Wigan defender Chey Dunkley conceded a free kick close to his own penalty area following a clumsy challenge on Cairney. Marshall again denied Knockaert as Fulham went in search of the second goal that would provide much-needed breathing space. And that finally came when Cairney strode forward and sent a dipping shot beyond Marshall in the 83rd minute.
