Fulham ended the regular Division 2 season with a 4-1 home defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, but they joined their visitors in the play-offs after Blackburn Rovers could only share a goalless draw with Aston Villa.

Dan Armstrong put the visitors ahead at Craven Cottage just before the break and Wolves secured victory with three goals in 12 second-half minutes. Christian Herc scored from long range, Donovan Wilson netted the rebound from his penalty and Connor Johnson headed in to make it 4-0.

George Williams hit a stoppage-time consolation for Fulham. 

Wolves finished the season as runners-up and now face West Ham United in the play-off semi-finals, while Fulham finish in fourth and will play third-placed Newcastle United.
