    Time:90'
    • Fulham
    • Everton
    • 90+6' It's all over, and Fulham have turned it around with a superb second half performance! Everton stay in the relegation zone after three defeats from four games.
    • 90+5' Howard comes well out of his goal and Zamora beats him to the ball. Dempsey shoots from range... Distin saves!
    • 90+5' One more corner for Fulham to defend...
    • 90+4' Everton are struggling to make inroads and time is ticking down. Less than two minutes to play.
    • 90+2' FIVE minutes of stoppage time to be played!
    • 90+1' Murphy strikes from the edge of the box... deflected wide for a Fulham corner.
    • 90' A diagonal Fulham cross gets beyond Yobo but Zamora just cannot turn it in!
    • 90' A satisfactory return for Andy Johnson, who got through 90 minutes unscathed.
    • 89' Everton knock it deep in search of Cahill, but the ball is just a yard too long.
    • 87' Panicky clearance from Pantsil, but Hibbert wastes the Everton throw.
    • 85' Damien Duff goes off to a tremendous ovation - Simon Davies replaces him.
    • 83' Yellow card for Baines, who pulls over Duff. The Fulham man stays down briefly clutching his leg, and although he gets up he is still limping.
    • 80' So close Everton!! A corner comes over from the right that Fellaini heads goalwards from close range. Stockdale parries and Yobo puts the rebound wide!
    • 79' GOAL!!!! Yes they can!!! Damien Duff cuts in from the right, makes space and crashes the ball into the left corner of the net! Great goal!
    • 78' Less than 15 minutes remaining.. can anyone make a telling contribution?
    • 76' Fellaini tries a 25-yard shot from the left channel, which is blocked by Brede Hangeland.
    • 73' Pantsil has a speculative effort from 25 yards but this time there is no deflection and Howard makes a comfortable save.
    • 72' Knocked long over the top for Cahill, who is now operating as a lone striker, but the Australian strays offside.
    • 70' Duff whips in a corner from the right... well defended by Everton.
    • 69' Everton make a change, and it's no surprise to see Marouane Fellaini come on for Jo.
    • 67' Fulham continue to come forward in numbers with Duff and Dempsey getting plenty of joy on the flanks.
    • 65' Neville has come off worse from that challenge and has to be taken off on a stretcher. Johnny Heitinga makes his debut.
    • 63' A thumping collision between Phil Neville and Dickson Etuhu.. that'll hurt in the morning.
    • 61' A cross passes right across the face of the Everton goal, but Dempsey is not in position to turn it in.
    • 59' Craven Cottage is in full voice after that slightly lucky equaliser and Duff is really having a go at Baines down the Fulham right.
    • 57' GOAL!!! Murphy's free-kick is blocked by the wall, Konchesky lashes the rebound in low and it finds the net via a fortuitous deflection off Sylvain Distin!
    • 56' Foul right at the edge of the Everton box and this is a real chance for Fulham...
    • 54' The corner is cleared to the edge of the box from where Duff volleys!! Over the bar!
    • 53' A Fulham free-kick is whipped into the box and headed behind for a corner.
    • 51' Distin jostles with Zamora close to halfway and is adjudged to have impeded the Fulham striker.
    • 49' Everton on the attack now down the right. Hibbert throws in towards the Fulham box but the hosts clear.
    • 47' A more positive start for Fulham in the second half - Andy Johnson fires a shot that Tim Howard catches with ease.
    • 46' Second half under way, with no personnel changes from either manager.
    • 45' That's half-time. Everton have the lead and that goal has changed everything. The visitors on top here.
    • 42' Fulham are lacking cutting edge at the moment. Only Dempsey looks like doing anything.
    • 40' Pienaar finds Osman in the box but his touch is heavy and he cannot fire a shot off. Everton very much on top now.
    • 37' Murphy has a tug at Pienaar's shirt then gives the Everton man a little shove. Naughty. He has already been booked and needs to be careful.
    • 35' Everton really have their tails up following that superb Cahill header. Fulham have shaded it on the balance of play, but it is all about taking your chances.
    • 33' GOAL!!! A typcial Tim Cahill header!! Pienaar whips the free-kick into the box and the Australian rises high and heads into the left corner of the net!
    • 32' Murphy brings down Pienaar and that's a yellow card. Referee Walton raises three fingers to indicate the repeat nature of Murphy's offending.
    • 30' Dempsey has a shot that takes a slight deflection but cannot deceive Howard.
    • 28' The physical nature of the game cannot really obscure the fact that this has been a pretty poor game.
    • 26' Physical stuff around the edge of the Everton box. A real tussle developing between Zamora and Yobo.
    • 24' The free-kick comes to nothing. A wasted chance for Everton.
    • 23' Jo skips past Hangeland before Murphy brings him down unceremoniously. Clear foul.
    • 22' Zamora appears to be brought down at the edge of the box, but referee Peter Walton says no foul!
    • 19' The corner finds Dempsey at the far post, but his header flashes just wide!
    • 18' Pantsil crosses for Andy Johnson, but Distin is in close attendance and heads it out for a corner.
    • 16' Rodwell hits a low shot that takes a deflection but Stockdale saves with his legs!
    • 14' There is a real scramble in front of the Fulham goal, but Cahill, Osman and Pienaarall try unsuccessfully to force the ball in.
    • 12' Yobo and Zamora jostle for a high ball, and the Fulham man thinks he has been caught in the face...
    • 10' A diagonal ball goes out for an Everton free-kick, and these sides continue to feel each other out.
    • 8' It has been a cagey start from both sides. Fulham are delighted to see Andy Johnson back but he has hardly had a touch so far.
    • 6' Everton have three men in the box as a cross comes over from the right but Fulham deal with it.
    • 5' Duff hits a speculative shot from the edge of the Everton box, but it comes straight to Howard at a comfortable height.
    • 3' Pienaar tries to play a through-ball to Jo but Hughes gets there first and plays it back to Stockdale.
    • 2' Both of these sides come into the game in the bottom three after a stuttering start to the season. Points areat a premium.
    • 1' Game on at Craven Cottage!
    • - Andrew Johnson and Danny Murphy return for Fulham, and Mark Schwarzer's injury means an opportunity for David Stockdale in goal. There is no John Heintinga for the visitors - the Dutchman must make do with a place on the bench.

  5. Certain Everton supporters suggested Heitinga and­ Distin would score but these people must accept the two­ players are defenders.
    I have supported Everton all of­ my life and in my view (only an opinion)we need Yakubu­ fit and back playing every week Our Best Striker.
    It is­ also true however, there is no flair in the midfield­ and the midfielders on duty at Fulham are ball winners.
