Fulham’s Manager Rene Meulensteen couldn’t hide his joy after his squad almost pulled and all around upset at Old Trafford to an unresponsive and confounded United squad.
Nothing to lose but a lot to gain in this match were the Locals were in the urge of adding points to their cause after failing to do so in their last weekend match- against another squad fighting for its survival and permanency in EPL.
Another loss with a squad submerged in last place in Premiership and with difficulties of adding points to their cause, that would it been a total fracas for the Manchester chaps.
On the other side for the Lilywhites coming under the label of underdogs, this result was translated as a win; a point for them at their time of struggle is a light of hope for them- a quest coming as a top priority in their quest to maintain them in Premiership.
After all the Cottagers started dominating and controlling the match, opening the score in the 19’th minute courtesy of Steve Sidwell- taking it to halftime when the Whites were clearly looking a sort of optimistic and dominant going into the second half.
In the second half the Cottagers became a sort of tired or careless- something very common and taking this squad tolls throughout the season.
When in the 78’th minute the Red Devils make themselves visible in the match with a score of their all-star Dutch striker Robin Van Persie for the equalizer- not even two minutes went through and the Red Devils Michael Carrick fulminating kick gave the lead for the Red Devils.
Old Trafford started signing for its boys almost out of nowhere feat that was going to give those blokes three points and a climb in the EPL overall table.
It’s when a lad by the name of Darren Bent in compensation time and last minute of it, scored the equalizer and final score of the match- silencing the Theater of Dreams completely and filling it with rage over its current Boss man continuous mishaps.
At the end for this result, the Whites really show off their mettle and the way this team can play after stopping cold in its tracks a squad considered as a powerhouse- one merit we should recognize for this initial eleven that outplayed a stun Man- United squad.
Well done Fulham chaps, I tip my hat to your extra efforts and one of a kind performance as visitors; this isn’t over yet for these squad upcoming matches along their desire to salvage an odd campaign.
