HUDDERSFIELD TOWN'S slim chances of getting automatic promotion to the Premier League were smashed by Fulham.

Fulham inflicted Town's heaviest league defeat at Craven Cottage - a 5-0 drubbing in October - and made it nine goals in two matches against the West Yorkshire side.

The win means Slavisa Jokanovic's team stay in sixth place but have moved two points clear of Leeds, who could only draw away at Burton Albion.

Scott Malone scored the equaliser, before Tom Cairney scored a penalty for Fulham.

Stefan Johansen then fired in twice in 10 minutes to seal a brilliant away victory.
