Fulham made comeback of the season when at half time they looked dead & buried & heading for the championship but some how kept there hopes alive.Fulham started the best like they knew they had to get a result where City look like a end of season game.It was Fulham who had the better chances early on as Clint Dempsey forced a save out of Joe Hart & then Jimmy Bullard had a long range shot that just dipped over the bar.But after or Fulham’s hard work it was City who took the lead when Stephen Ireland curled a fantastic shot into the net Fulham looked hurt after that & it showed when City then went two up when Benjani slid the ball home after 22 Min’s.Fulham looked a dead team as City were running the football match with Elano in great form with some of his vision & passing.Fulham did create a chance before the break when David Healy meet a fantastic cross from Simon Davis But Hart made a super one handed save from Healy’s point blank header. Sven Goran Eriksson
The second half started with fulham knowing the championship was looking right at them unless they pulled something out of the bag.City could have extended their lead but it was Fulham who got back into the game thanks to Substitute Kamara in the 70th minute as he managed to turn past Corluka & fire a shot through Joe Hart’s legs he then saves from a Bullard free kick as Fulham came to life looking for the equaliser.It was the 80th minute when Fulham got there lifeline when Sun Jihai brought down Erik Nevland in the box & the ref pointed to the spot Danny murphy had the responsibility to get Fulham level.He took his penalty but it was very weak & Hart saved but Murphy got hold of the rebound & put it in.Then Kamara who hadn’t finished yet probably scored his most important goal of his career when in the last minute he got through on goal & fired a fantastic shot that Hart dived to save but it beat him at the near post & gave Fulham some hope of staying up. Roy Hodgson
