Rodrigo Muniz now has two goals in three appearances for FulhamRodrigo Muniz scored twice as Fulham claimed their first Premier League win of 2024 to move above Bournemouth in the table.
The Cottagers dominated the early stages and opened the scoring when Bobby De Cordova-Reid capitalised on a Lewis Cook slip and side-footed into the bottom corner.
Neto produced a brilliant one-handed save to deny the lively Willian soon afterwards, but the Cherries goalkeeper was powerless to stop Muniz doubling Fulham's lead from De Cordova-Reid's downward header.
Marcos Senesi's sublime turn and finish halved the deficit early in the second half, only for Fulham to restore their two-goal advantage when Muniz met Willian's far-post delivery two minutes later.
Dominic Solanke wasted the best of several good Bournemouth opportunities before half-time, side-footing over the bar when unmarked before Fulham's second of the game.
Marco Silva's side climb above Bournemouth into 12th, dropping the Cherries to 13th.
