BOURNEMOUTH, England — Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno appeared to push a ball boy during his team's 3-0 loss at Bournemouth in the Premier League. Fulham was losing 2-0 at the time of the second-half incident and Leno had already received a yellow card. The 31-year-old German later apologized to the ball boy but was still jeered by Bournemouth fans for the rest of the match. Fulham manager Marco Silva defended his 'keeper. He says Leno "didn't push him, it wasn't strong enough and he apologized."
