Goals from Clint Dempsey and Moussa Dembele earned Fulham a precious three points at the DW Stadium.The Latics had more than enough chances to win the match but just could not find the net, with Gary Caldwell heading over in the first half and Victor Moses and Maynor Figueroa both hitting the woodwork in the second.
Fulham were much more clinical, Dempsey finishing off a break in the 41st minute to put them ahead before Dembele clinched a first away victory of the season four minutes from time.
