Blackpool have missed out on Europa League football next season after Fulham finished narrowly above them in the Fair Play league.
Disappointingly, the Cottagers finished with a points tally only 0.01 superior to the Seasiders'.
Mark Hughes’ side had just one player sent off in league matches all season - which occurred in the very last game of the season leading to suggestions Blackpool could pip them to the spot.
The Premier League said in a statement: “Fulham FC has finished the season as the highest placed club in the 2010/11 Fair Play League that has not already qualified for UEFA competitions via the 2010/11 Barclays Premier League.
“The club will take the additional European place awarded to England and compete in next season’s UEFA Europa League.”
England received an additional Europa League place for next season after finishing second in UEFA’s national fair-play table based on results from all UEFA club and international matches played over the season.
