Result: Fulham 3-0 Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk

Fulham ran out convincing winners in the first leg of their Europa League play-off with a 3-0 victory against Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk at Craven Cottage.

The unlikely scorer of Aaron Hughes put Martin Jol's side ahead, before Clint Dempsey got on the end of Steve Sidwell's cross on the stroke of half-time to double their lead.

Dempsey bagged himself a second soon after the restart when he hit home at the far post.

The Premier League side travel to the Ukraine for the second leg on Thursday, August 25.
