1718: GOAL Fulham 0-1 Arsenal
Arsenal take an early lead at Craven Cottage. The young Mexican
Carlos Vela
uses his pace to perfection and latches onto a long ball by Kolo Toure. With
just the keeper to beat he slots it into the top corner to give his side the
lead. A fine finish from the youngster.
1721: GOAL Fulham 0-2 Arsenal
He's only gone and done it again! Great work down the right by Maxi Rodriguez
leaves Moritz Volz in all sorts of trouble, and after cutting back inside,
Rodriguez lifts a ball into the box.
Carlos Vela is left all alone in the
penalty area and he just flicks it into the bottom corner. Poor defending from
Fulham, but Vela continues to shine.
1743: GOAL Fulham 0-3 Arsenal
It may well be game, set and match already. Arsenal go into a 3-0 lead
thanks to a fine finish from
Eduardo. A flick on by, that man, Vela
leads Eduardo on goal, who chips the ball delightfully over the diving body of
Antti Niemi. Fulham find themselves with a huge task now.
1751: GOAL Fulham 1-3 Arsenal
Fulham pull one back, and it's a great strike from
Brian McBride that
gives them hope. Jimmy Bullard's cross was headed away by William Gallas
only to fall to McBride at the edge of the area. The striker chested it down,
and before the ball hit the floor, he unleashed a cracking volley that soared
into the roof of the net. We may well have a game here in London.
1752: Well that's a shame for Carlos Vela as it seems he was injured in the
build-up to that Fulham goal. The physio is walking him off and it looks like it
could be a head injury. On comes Emmanuel Adebayor to replace him.
1802: Scott Ritchie blows the half-time whistle with the score at 3-1.
Arsenal well in control here at Craven Cottage, but that last goal from Brian
McBride has given the home fans some hope.
