Fulham suffer heaviest defeat for 16 months

Fulham 0 Blackburn 4

Tigana now has just six games left as boss and Gianluca Vialli, the bookmakers' favourite to become his successor, was in the Loftus Road directors' box to witness this 4-0 humiliation at the hands of UEFA Cup hopefuls Blackburn.

Steed Malbranque, so often Fulham's most dangerous player, came closest to scoring so far on the half hour. Steve Marlet expertly squared to him 20 yards out and his swerving first-time strike was parried by the diving Brad Friedel.
