Mitrovic requires further treatment and that means there will be extra injury time within this period of injury time to boot.
90' +6
There’s terse words being exchanged by both sets of players in the wake of crunching tackles that send Mitrovic and Bryan sprawling.
90' +4
The chance comes to nothing for the visitors after Mitrovic wins a free-kick of his own for a foul by Gomes.
90' +2
This has been a wake-up call of a game for Everton, who have been truly off the pace at points today. They could still feasibly salvage something and will have a free-kick from 45 yards out after Calvert-Lewin is fouled.
90'
There will be eight - yes, eight - minutes of injury time.
89'

Fulham make their second change of the game with Seri coming on for Babel.
Substitution Ryan Guno Babel Jean Michaël Seri
81'
Play is resumed after a break with the Everton man able to continue. Calvert-Lewin goes down a few seconds later in the Fulham box and appeals for a penalty, though none is forthcoming.
78'
Play is brought to a halt after Zouma goes down clutching his face from a hefty challenge.
76'
What a game this has been for the Cottagers. They’re naturally going to lose some of their bigger talents next season with their drop to the Championship, but if Scott Parker can oversee a core nucleus of this side, there’s no reason to think they won’t make a swift return.
74'
A. Lookman enters the game and replaces G. Sigurðsson.
Everton make their first change with Lookman on for Sigurdsson.
Substitution Gylfi Þór Sigurðsson Ademola Lookman
71'
This doesn’t look like a side who have lost nine on the bounce. Fulham look set to return to winning ways – and then some.
69'
R. Babel has scored a goal for Fulham! Assist by A. Mitrović.
BABEL MAKES IT TWO! 2-0! He provided the set-up for the first goal and now the Fulham man nabs the second for his side! He cuts across Coleman to meet a speculative ball from Mitrovic, tears into the box and calmly slots his finish beyond Pickford. Craven Cottage is bouncing!
Assist Aleksandar Mitrović
Goal Ryan Guno Babel
68'
Fulham see off the second set-piece with greater composure and Everton peel back from their offensive manoeuvres.
67'
An Everton corner sees Jagielka turn a soft header in that Rico opts to punch out with a wild swing rather than catch. The keeper looks a bit flustered right now.
66'
C. Christie enters the game and replaces T. Fosu-Mensah.
Substitution Timothy Evans Fosu-Mensah Cyrus Christie
65'
Christie is on for Fosu-Mensah in the first change of the game from Fulham.
64'
Fosu-Mensah isn’t looking too sharp right now after a crunching tackle and Fulham could be forced into a change here.
63'
Rico fails to clear a relatively easy cross from Coleman and puts his side under pressure for a frantic few moments as players pile in trying to finish off the move for the visitors.
57'
M. Le Marchand gets yellow.
Le Marchand is pinged for a nasty foul and gets a booking for his troubles.
56'
A lovely little throughball to Mitrovic sees the Serbian ultimately foul Zouma in the Everton box as the defender tries to hold him off. Sessegnon sticks it into the net a moment later but the whistle had already gone.
54'
Play is paused for Rico to receive treatment for a few minutes before the game resumes, with the keeper able to continue.
52'
Another golden chance for Calvert-Lewin! The forward and Rico come together as the Toffees striker tries to blast the ball past him at close range. He catches the keeper in the process too however and Sigurdsson, arriving to whip a follow-up into the back of the net, sees his goal disallowed.
50'
Sigurdsson sweeps it in and Calvert-Lewin gets a header to the delivery. It’s not the greatest finish in the book and it sails off-target.
48'
T. Ream gets yellow.
Ream picks up a booking after having a nibble at the ankles of Richarlison and Everton have a set-piece chance to strike straight back.
46'
T. Cairney has scored a goal for Fulham! Assist by R. Babel.
The finish may go to his captain but that goal is all Babel. It’s a magnificent break by the forward and he makes it into a beautiful move.
CAIRNEY FOR FULHAM! 1-0! What a start from the Cottagers! Babel coasts down the left wing and plays a delightful one-two with Mitrovic to scamper into the box, before pulling back a pass to the midfielder. The captain makes no mistake and strikes a lovely effort into the bottom-left corner past Pickford.
We’re back underway at Craven Cottage. Will Fulham be able to keep up the pressure and snatch a win? Or will Everton’s recent formbook come good in the second half?
45' +2
HALF-TIME: FULHAM 0-0 EVERTON
45'
There will be two added minutes of injury time.
44'
Richarlison gets yellow.
Richarlison is shown a booking for a rash challenge on Cairney, though he protests his innocence.
37'
Fulham have really found their bearings in attack now, even if they can’t quite finish yet. Mitrovic lashes another strike past the right post for his side’s seventh attempt on goal so far.
35'
The visitors survive after the set-piece and a follow-up throughball amount to nothing before Everton pick up a free-kick for a foul in their own box.
33'
A spell of sustained Fulham pressure now is threatening to turn the tide in this game and they earn themselves a corner after Cairney leads them deep into the Everton box.
30'
Cairney! A Fulham break sees their captain smash a lovely effort in towards goal. Pickford gets there with a neat leap and lashes it downfield in response.
29'
An unfortunate ball has left Gueye rather winded and there is a pause in play for him to recover.
27'
Inventive play from the Cottagers almost unsticks Everton however as a free-kick is initially swept back before being played long for Babel. The forward gets the right side of Jagielka, only for his first touch to take the ball away for him, allowing the defender to clean up.
25'
That brief danger created by Mitrovic aside, the Toffees have been growing in this game since those lazy early exchanges. They’re looking the more likely to break the deadlock of the pair.
23'
Fulham win a third corner after Mitrovic’s second header is deflected off Jagielka and Pickford makes himself known with a clearing punch on the latter effort. Gomes blasts the loose ball away and Everton can let out a sigh of relief.
18'
A late challenge clips Richarlison on the break down the right wing and Everton have a set-piece chance. After a bait-and-switch, Sigurdsson pumps it in; Fulham ably defend and the subsequent follow-up is bundled comfortably wide.
14'
Le Marchand dallies inside his own six-yard box and nearly cedes possession to a hungry Calvert-Lewin looking to bounce before smothering the ball away. That’s a worrying effort from the Cottagers defender.
12'
Mitrovic! The striker is played onside by some poor defence from Digne and he steps back inside the box before rattling another low shot straight to Pickford. His finishing is yet to really get going.
11'
Jagielka puts the follow-up from the set-piece straight to the keeper and that closes off the danger for the hosts.
10'
Gomes with a great delivery! The Everton man whips it in off the right wing and it just beats Calvert-Lewin at the near post. Fosu-Mensah tucks it out for a corner but that’s more promising from the Toffees.
9'
Cairney goes long after a Mitrovic pass and is put to ground by a Digne challenge. The Fulham man appeals but no call is forthcoming in his favour.
7'
It’s been a relatively middling start from Everton who have let the hosts impress themselves on this game early on. They’ll have to ensure that they don’t fully switch off.
5'
Mitrovic makes another run down on the left and slams another shot towards goal, this one more controlled. It bobbles into the arms of Pickford however and the keeper makes no mistake.
3'
Mitrovic lets fly with an effort from distance that sails well over the crossbar to leave Everton untroubled.
2'
An early error by Pickford almost sees him place a prime ball into the path of the Fulham attack following a ricochet off Jagielka, but the England man recovers and scuffs it away from danger with his second attempt.

We’re underway in this Premier League clash between Fulham and Everton!
The hosts welcome the Toffees to London for what may effectively feel like a grim wake as they prepare to return to life in the Championship from next season, but Scott Parker will be hopeful that his side can show some fighting spirit over these final weeks.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the 2018-19 Premier League as relegated Fulham face Everton at Craven Cottage.
The visitors however will be in no mood to play around, with the distant dream of a Europa League place still in their sights. Marco Silva’s side have suffered from inconsistency this campaign, but they will be hopeful of finishing with a flourish and securing some continental football.
Subs: Harvey Elliott, Fabri, Neeskens Kebano, Andre Schurrle, Jean Michael Seri, Cyrus Christie, Denis Odoi.
FULHAM (4-3-3): Sergio Rico; Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Tim Ream, Maxime Le Marchand, Joe Bryan; Tom Cairney, Calum Chambers, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa; Ryan Babel, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Ryan Sessegnon.
Subs: Tom Davies, Theo Walcott, Ademola Lookman, Maarten Stekelenburg, Leighton Baines, Michael Keane, Cenk Tosun.
EVERTON (4-2-3-1): Jordan Pickford; Seamus Coleman, Phil Jagielka, Kurt Zouma, Lucas Digne, Andre Gomes; Idrissa Gueye; Richarlison, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Bernard; Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
The teams have emerged at Craven Cottage and we’re moments away from kick-off.
Marco Silva will have some stern words for his side who started in a rather low-key fashion and then let Scott Parker’s side bully them over the pitch for prolonged periods. They may have more possession so far, but they’ve struggled to turn it into worthwhile attempts.
Both sides will be back in action next week as Fulham head south to face Bournemouth and Everton return home to host Manchester United. Until then however, thank you for joining us – and have a good weekend!
He may not have got on the scoresheet but Aleksandar Mitrovic had a brilliant game for the Cottagers. The Serbian is surely set to leave the club for a top-tier side come the end of the season, with his efforts today showing how much he will be missed by Scott Parker’s side.
