The second-half belonged to Dempsey, who scored in the 67th and 88th minutes. Mark Schwarzer picked up the shutout on three saves.

It may be an inappropriate cliche in the week Sam Allardyce goes under the knife, but the least you expect from his Blackburn Rovers is a little blood and guts. However, they offered little resistance as Fulham recorded their first victory against the Lancashire club since 2005 thanks to a second-half brace from Clint Dempsey after Erik Nevalnd had given them a half-time lead. Allardyce's wife Lynn...

Birmingham continued to enjoy the mini-purple patch that has coincided with the resolution of Carson Yeung's interminable boardroom takeover, beating Fulham by the single goal of a largely messy match played in relentless driving rain. Alex McLeish's team are now unbeaten in four league games, equalling their best run in the top tier during his time in charge. The only goal of the game arrived after...

During Fulham’s Premier League tenure, goalkeepers have saved the club a countless amount of points, and Sunday’s performance by the big Australian Mark Schwarzer joins the list. It was anything but a dominant Wigan display, but on another afternoon, with another keeper between the sticks, it could have been 3 or 4-1 to the home side. There is no questioning the importance of a top-class...

After their tribulations at Roma in midweek, Fulham will settle for this draw quite happily. A match between two mid-table teams with limited goalscoring capacity always had the makings of an even encounter, and so it proved with Clint Dempsey's penalty for Fulham cancelling out Emmerson Boyce's opener for Wigan. They were offering 5% off in the club shop for every Wigan goal, but it was a bit early...

Matches between these sides tend to produce very few goals and with the Wigan manager, Roberto Martínez, claming his side are "light up front" this may be another barren meeting. Fulham will be looking to put Thursday's Europa League disappointment behind them and recapture the form that saw them beat Liverpool 3-1 in their last Premier League outing. Damien Duff is likely to be absent...

There was a point here when Bobby Zamora, the Fulham striker whose career has become synonymous with holding his head and looking disbelievingly to the skies, must have feared his impressive contender for Miss of the Season had wrecked Fulham's chances. Zamora had produced what has become known as a "Ronnie Rosenthal moment" and Manchester City had punished him with goals from Joleon Lescott...

The premise of Channel 7's new sci-fi series might not lie in the realms of fantasy after all. Last night, watching the Australia v. Netherlands game, I had a vivid premonition of how Pim Verbeek's side will approach games against superior (or even peer) opposition in South Africa next year. Plenty of shuffling the ball across the back four. A largely immobile central midfield pair, whose main ambition...

Only a handful of countries at next year's World Cup will have a stellar goalkeeper, so maybe England will be fine When George Cohen was quoted the other day suggesting that to win a World Cup you need a great goalkeeper, someone the rest of the team can fully trust, the initial reaction must have been the same all over the country: "That's England scuppered in South Africa, then." Not even...

Johnson was also involved in a penalty claim right on the stroke of half time when he thought he was brought down in the box by a combination of Costanzo and david Angel Abraham, but the referee showed little interest in the Fulham striker's appeals. In between times it was Basel that the two opportunities of the half and they also feel to one player. Benjamin Huggel has one goal for Basel this season,...

Claret and blue are the colours of the week at Fulham as all the talking points have come from West Ham, Aston Villa and Europa League opponents FC Basel. Okay, Basel’s strip is more red and blue, but close enough. Roy Hodgson mixed-and-matched his line-up for his side’s first Europa League home game, selecting players from both the usual first XI and from the supposed second string -...

Danny Murphy's 57th-minute goal was the difference in Fulham's 1-0 over FC Basel in the Europa League's Group E. Clint Dempsey got the start in a game where the losing team produced most of the shots on goal, but Fulham had the dangerous chances. Fulham keeper Mark Schwarzer needed seven saves for the shutout. His opposite number Franco Costanzo only faced two shots on frame. "We were playing...
