Match Report:

I watched the highlights of this game on MOTD.

It looked like we played fantastically.  Fulham couldn’t really tackle us and our passing was great.  Rafa made lots of changes to the team, and some people would say it wasn’t a very good team, but they played really well, and they never looked like losing.  Fulham had a couple of chances but Reina made some good saves.

Pennants goal was good, but he made it look quite easy.  Voronin passed to Lucas, who played a through ball to Pennant who ran into the box past a defender.  He controlled the ball and smacked it past Keller into the roof of the net.

Our second goal was scored by Crouch.  Pennant played a through ball to Crouch who knocked the ball past the defended and hit his shot, which went underneath Keller and rolled into the net.

This was a really good result.
