Fulham gain Europa League spot through Fair Play league

Zoltan Gera was sent off on the final day of the season for Fulham

Fulham will play in the Europa League next season after earning a spot through the Fair Play League.

England had received an extra Europa League place by finishing second in Uefa's fair play table for 2010/11.
Chelsea topped the Premier League Fair Play table but having already qualified for the Champions League, Fulham in second were given the Europa spot.
Blackpool had hoped to leapfrog Fulham after Zoltan Gera was sent off for the Cottagers in their final league game.
That was the only red card that Mark Hughes' team received all season.
Teams were awarded fair play points for each Premier League match they played during the season. These were assessed by match delegates and took into account a range of factors such as positive play, the number of red and yellow cards received, respect towards opponents and behaviour of club officials.
