Fulham vs West Brom Highlights Video

Fulham 2 - 0 West Brom

Bottom-of-the-table West Bromwich Albion travelled to Craven Cottage aware that a win could lift them off the bottom of the table.

Roy Hodgson has been concerned recently about his sides lack of success in front of goal. They set about trying to ease his concerns as early as the fourth minute when Danny Murphy’s free-kick beat the wall but not keeper Scott Carson’s finger tips nor the post onto which he tipped the shot. Carson was much the busier keeper and saves from Simon Davies and Dickson Etuhu plus a scrambled clearance from a Leon Barnett back-pass were all that kept West Brom level. Baggies boss Tony Mowbray must have thought his sides luck was changing as, when Fulham beat Carson, they couldn’t get past the woodwork hitting it twice in quick succession.



Bobby Zamora has not scored since September and his draught looked set to continue after failing miserably from only 12 yards out. However, redemption came on the hour as he was perfectly placed to tap in following Andrew Johnson’s header. Zamora nearly added a second shortly afterwards but again was denied by Carson. However, Johnson was on hand to hit home the rebound. Fulham played out the remainder of the ninety minutes in comparative ease and even a late scare, when Bednar was upended in the area, proved unfounded when the substitute picked himself up only for Mark Schwarzer to save the resulting penalty kick.
