Leicester, who had taken five points from their last three matches, are 16th in the standings on 30 points -- tied with 18th-placed Nottingham Forest and a point above 19th-placed Everton, who are both in action later on Monday. Fulham remain 10th.
Fulham were gifted the opener in the 10th minute by a howler from goalkeeper Daniel Iversen, who misjudged the trajectory of a Willian free kick and could only watch as the ball bounced past him and into the back of the net. The hosts continued to press forward, with Carlos Vinicius squeezing a shot past Iversen in the 18th minute before Cairney scored either side of halftime to give the West London club a four-goal advantage.
Leicester pulled a goal back as winger Harvey Barnes fired into the roof in the 59th minute but Willian wrapped up a one-sided victory by curling home Fulham's fifth from distance. The visitors scored through Barnes and James Maddison late on to threaten a dramatic comeback, but Fulham were able to hold on for the win.
