Finds net off bench
Cairney scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Newcastle United.
Analysis: Cairney came off the bench in the second half to replace Kevin and immediately made his presence felt at Craven Cottage, first driving a low effort narrowly wide of the right post before being invited to shoot from distance again moments later, this time curling a stunning strike into the top-left corner past Nick Pope in the 80th minute for his second league goal of the season, while also adding two key passes and two interceptions. Cairney ends the 2025-26 season with two goals and 11 key passes across 24 Premier League appearances, consistently providing leadership and creative composure from midfield in what has been a strong collective campaign for Fulham despite operating mainly in a substitute role this season.
Fit for bench
Cairney (calf) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Sunderland.
Analysis: Cairney was back in training this week, and that has led to his return, with the midfielder an option from the bench as usual. With only three starts in 16 appearances this season, the midfielder will likely continue as a rotational option.
