FULHAM leapfrog opponents Barnsley with a 2-0 win at Craven Cottage as they move up to eighth in the table.
A first half penalty from Chris Martin and a fine finish from Scott Malone in the second period closes the gap on play-off places to six points.
The Cottagers dominated the game throughout, and manager Slavisa Jokanovic would be disappointed that his side didn't make the net bulge more than twice.

Fulham got the breakthrough in first half stoppage time, after Angus MacDonald fouled former Wolves star Kevin McDonald in the box.
Malone scored shortly after the break in the 55th minute, as he dispatched a left-footed shot low into the bottom right corner after being found by Martin.
It's now three wins in the last five league games for Fulham, while the Tykes suffered their first loss since December 13.
