Fulham scored twice in the dying minutes to beat Arsenal 2-1
and deny them a return to the top four in the Premier League
in a dramatic match at Craven Cottage on Monday.
Arsenal led from the 21st minute with a Laurent Koscielny
header but, after they had Johan Djourou sent off 12 minutes
from time for hauling back Bobby Zamora, Fulham struck twice
to win for the first time in four matches.
Steve Sidwell, who started his career at Arsenal but never
played for them, equalised for Fulham with a header after 85
minutes before Zamora smashed in a left foot volley in the
third minute of added time to give Martin Jol's team all
three points.
Arsenal started the day in fourth place but were knocked back
to fifth by Chelsea, who won 2-1 at Wolverhampton Wanderers
earlier on Monday.
Chelsea have 37 points, one clear of Arsenal on 36. The top
three - Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham
Hotspur - were not in action and play later this week.
In the other early matches, Swansea City won 2-0 at Aston
Villa, Stoke City won 2-1 at Blackburn Rovers and Norwich
City won 2-1 at Queens Park Rangers.
