Fulham secured the Championship title in emphatic fashion this evening, beating Luton Town 7-0 at Craven Cottage.
Marco Silva’s side had already won promotion and knew that victory tonight would see them lift the Championship trophy in-front of their own supporters.
An emphatic 7-0 win came thanks to goals from Tom Cairney, Kenny Tete, Fabio Carvalho, Aleksandar Mitrovic (2), Bobby Decordova-Reid and Jean Michael Seri.
One man that failed to get in on the rout was Neeskens Kebano, who replaced Carvalho for the final 12 minutes.
Nevertheless, the 30-year-old has played his part this season with nine goals and six assists in the Championship, and he was in the thick of the celebrations.
Marco Silva’s side round-off what’s been a memorable season at the weekend when they travel to Sheffield United.
Although they’ve got nothing to play for themselves, the game has something resting on it, with the Blades chasing a place in the play-offs.
Paul Heckingbottom’s side are currently sixth, with Middlesbrough and Millwall hunting them down.
