Premier League: Fulham 1 Tottenham 3

Tottenham were made to dig deep to take home the three points from Craven Cottage on Sunday.

First-half goals from Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon and another in second-half stoppage time from Jermain Defoe sealed the win as the hosts’ second-half display was not quite enough to earn a draw.

Tottenham wasted no time in getting their noses in front as a speedy run on the right from full-back Kyle Walker stretched the Fulham defence after 10 minutes.

The 21-year-old’s cut-back to Lennon was smashed to the far post until Mark Schwarzer deflected the ball wide to his right. The danger was still present as Bale put the ball back into the area only for Chris Baird to slide the ball into his own net.

A blow to the nose of Scott Parker caused a break in play after 20 minutes as the England international had to leave the field to be patched up with blood running.

Shortly after, Fulham broke the Tottenham defence with Clint Dempsey’s low shot being pushed away by fellow American Brad Friedel.

With the visitors in the lead, Fulham had to take the lead in the game and an unexpected figure in Emmanuel Adebayor came to the rescue for Tottenham to keep the lead intact.

From a free-kick on the right, the striker made a couple of headers to help out his defenders and maintain the advantage.

Teamwork between Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Bale and Lennon produced the second goal for Tottenham in first half stoppage time. The three moved the ball with ease with quick passing and crisp running which sprung the winger to slide in the second goal of the game.

The period finished with Fulham’s Zdenek Grygera appearing to twist his left knee and being carried from the field on a stretcher.

Whatever Jol told his side in the dressing at half-time certainly did the trick as the home side came flying out of the blocks. Shots were flying in for Fulham with Duff and Zamora both testing the defence.

This sustained pressure paid off from a corner when a Ledley King header hit the back of Younes Kaboul and beyond Friedel with the big defender knowing little about it.

The openings kept coming for Fulham and Baird nearly made amends for his involvement in the first goal with a smashed effort at goal which required Freidel to pull off another classy save. The warning bells must have been ringing loud and clear for Tottenham as the Fulham revival was unabated.

Dempsey would have been kicking himself after 74 minutes as he broke through the centre-half pairing and bore down on goal only to see his shot knocked wide by King whose slid was a crucial intervention, the chance to level up gone.

The final moments of the game summed up Fulham’s day perfectly. Two goal line scrambles kept everyone on the edge of the seats but brilliant concentration for Friedel and a huge slice of luck kept Fulham out.

And, as to twist the knife, Tottenham’s next attack killed the game with Jermain Defoe volleying in from a cross.

Fulham 2-5 Liverpool

By: Sam | May 9th, 2011

These days, allowing five goals against you at home is not what you normally see at Craven Cottage. But it happened as Liverpool completely outplayed Fulham – their passing quick, their players comfortable on the ball and their finishing expert. Now the only thing for Fulham is to move one, learn from it and try to remember how to defend again.

Fulham’s defensive line was all over the place. In the first half they could handle neither Luis Suarez or Glen Johnson down each wing. Liverpool’s first two goals came as a result of punts from near the halfway line for Liverpool players to collect and run into the Fulham box, cut the ball across and for another Liverpool player to slot the ball into the net.

Mark Schwarzer had a poor game also. Liverpool’s third goal looked savable. Dirk Kuyt beat Salcido and took his chance with a direct shot. The ball went straight towards Schwarzer but, perhaps because the shot was so direct, palmed it into the net.

Fulham needed to regroup. Clint Dempsey had a shot cleared off the line – they were 3-nil down but gaining a number of corner kicks with some good chances – their approach play wasn’t too far from clawing back a goal. Perhaps one goal could spur on a comeback.

Well, it seemed like the slim chance of a comeback was possible at the start of the second half. Bobby Zamora came on for Simon Davies. Fulham started to play better with their passing more controlled. It was rewarded with a fine goal. Chris Baird passed it into the box for Bobby Zamora to lay it off to Moussa Dembele who placed it coolly past Pepe Reina. Game on.

Until…until Maxi scored a ferocious drive past Schwarzer. Game on? Game over.

And then, Suarez made it 5-1 to Liverpool. He deserved a goal as he was Liverpool’s main threat going forward and continually beat Carlos Salcido throughout the game. Jonjo Shelvey played a through ball to Suarez who took it round Schwazer to slot it in in-front of a jubilant Liverpool away crowd.

As the game wound down, Danny Murphy crossed the ball into the Liverpool box. They cleared the ball but it fell to Steve Sidwell who then superbly half-volleyed it in for a late consolation and one which should be a contender for goal of the month. Sidwell got a pat on the head from Murphy but he didn’t celebrate – his face only showed disappointment as he walked back to his own half.

Disappointment – a word that sums up the performance. Not just for the scoreline but for the performance. Defending, goalkeeping and attacking were all poor. Even tackling at times was just out of character. Perhaps it was due to frustration but Fulham’s tackling was at times simply uncalled for. One that summed up this frustration was Baird’s harsh tackle on Kuyt by the touchline, which on another night may have been a red card offence. If Fulham are to qualify for the Europa League through Fair Play then tonight’s performance didn’t do much justice.

Video- Steve Sidwell goal vs Liverpool 2011 May Fulham

May 9, 2011

This Steve Sidwell goal vs Liverpool was probably the goal of the night in the Fulham vs Liverpool fixture at Craven Cottage on May 9, 2011. Sidwell’s goal against Liverpool however did come in a losing cause as Fulham were thrashed 5-2 by Kenny Dalglish’s Liverpool.

Sidwell’s goal vs Liverpool was the last of the seven goals scored in the game. An absolute cracking long range goal from former Reading midfielder Sidwell, into the top corner of Pepe Reina’s net from the edge of the box.

Premier League: Fulham 2 Liverpool 5

A Liverpool master-class, capped by Maxi Rodriguez’s second hat-trick in three games, helped Kenny Dalglish’s side to a 5-2 win over Fulham.

It took just 26 seconds for Liverpool to open the scoring in the English Premier League encounter at Craven Cottage on Monday.

Aaron Hughes strode confidently out of the Fulham defence only to see his pass intercepted by Dirk Kuyt, who released Luis Suarez down the left flank.

His cross almost resulted in an own goal by Carlos Salcido but Mark Schwarzer came to the rescue, only to see Maxi pounce and fire the ball past the outstretched Australian keeper.

The visitors lead was doubled after just six minutes when England right-back Glen Johnson was allowed to surge down the right, reaching Fulham’s goal line and sending a perfectly-weighted ball to the back post.

Chris Baird lost sight of Maxi and the Argentine angled home with his left foot.

The third Liverpool goal came on 15 minutes and just seconds after Fulham had their first shot of the game, albeit a miscued one.

Kuyt received the ball on the corner of Fulham’s 18-yard box and struck a tame looking drive at Schwarzer’s near post.

The goalkeeper seemed set to comfortably collect the ball but, in a momentary loss of concentration, palmed it into his own net.

Liverpool spent the remainder of the half playing exhibition football.

Assured in defence and inventive in attack, they were showing the sort of form that should guarantee Dalglish the manager’s job on a permanent and long-term deal.

Fulham were playing like their summer holiday started three games too soon.

The home side did look a new team in the second half, however, thanks largely to the introduction of Bobby Zamora from the substitutes bench.

The forward helped them pull a goal back 10 minutes after the interval, holding the ball up well before setting up Moussa Dembele to curl a shot past Pepe Reina.

But Maxi popped up to complete his hat-trick just four minutes after Fulham were given the faintest glimmer of hope, and it was the Argentine’s his most spectacular of the evening.

Brede Hangeland was caught in possession by the attacker, who took one touch with his white boots and rifled the ball beyond Fulham’s stranded keeper from 25 yards.

Suraez must have felt upstaged by his treble-scoring team-mate because, just five minutes after Maxi completed his hat-trick, the Uruguayan popped up with a goal of his own.

Jonjo Shelvey cut an already shredded Fulham defence apart with a single pass to release Suarez, who slotted calmly past Schwarzer.

Steve Sidwell managed to reduce the deficit with five minutes remaining with an expert finish from outside the Liverpool area, but it did little to reduce the feeling of disappointment surrounding the west London side.

Liverpool 5, Fulham 2: Finding Top Gear

By: Ed | May 9th, 2011
    Tweet

Liverpool hit five at Craven Cottage in another terrific overall performance.

Jaw-dropping for most of the opening half, nervy for a good chunk of the second, but ultimately another high-level performance from Kenny Dalglish’s Liverpool.

Pre-match the biggest story was the omission of Andy Carroll—not just from the starting eleven, where there was a chance that even if available, he would miss out due to the form of Maxi Rodriguez over the past few weeks. Carroll missed out on the squad completely and didn’t make the trip with the team, which causes plenty of questions about his fitness for the run-in and, as others have mentioned, his plans for the summer. Insult to injury that David Ngog apparently picked up a knock over the past week, which left Liverpool’s bench without a striker, and only Joe Cole and Jonjo Shelvey as attack-minded substitutes.

Carroll’s absence made the team selection straightforward enough, with Kenny Dalglish able to call on the same eleven that beat Newcastle 3-0 last weekend and all but Jack Robinson from the side that beat Birmingham 5-0 a fortnight ago. The only real change was one that we got a preview of last week, with Glen Johnson moving back right and John Flanagan on the left, and the discussion about how Andy Carroll could fit into the eleven was put off for at least another week.

And it didn’t take long to completely forget about those not in attendance, as Liverpool had the opener on 32 seconds. Lucas threaded a fine ball down the left that bounced free for Luis Suarez, and the Uruguayan glided down the wing and played one across the face of goal. It was eventually poked clear by Mark Schwarzer, but only as far as Maxi, who was settled just off the center of the penalty area. The Argentine’s made few mistakes since rejoining the starting eleven against Birmingham, and he placed it perfectly through a number of bodies for Liverpool’s first.

Then Liverpool got their second. And third. Inside of twenty minutes, Liverpool had pulled away through a combination of suffocating pressure and abysmal defending by Fulham. The second came via Maxi again, as he was the beneficiary of a floated cross from Glen Johnson on the right. Five goals in three matches for the midfielder, and minutes later Dirk Kuyt would extend his goalscoring streak to five matches after Mark Schwarzer failed to catch a low, dipping effort from just inside the area.

The rest of the first half was more of the same, with a few Fulham counter attacks breaking up forty-five minutes of Liverpool dominance. At times it looked as though Liverpool had a two-man advantage; the visitors pressed high up the pitch and in numbers, swarming any time Fulham had possession and negating nearly every forward movement from the hosts.

Fulham were able to scrape together a decent spell around the thirty-minute mark, but they saw their best chance cleared off the line by Glen Johnson after Clint Dempsey did well to fire a corner on goal. Liverpool saw off the threat and returned the match to normal service, closing down Fulham relentlessly and getting themselves into dangerous positions with seemingly every possession.

The second half started as a markedly different affair, however, with Mark Hughes opting to bring on Bobby Zamora for Simon Davies. The hosts show more impetus almost immediately, and they eventually got their reward with a fine effort from Moussa Dembele. Zamora held up play nicely for the Belgian international, who darted one past Pepe Reina at the far post. Their resurgence continued, and they very nearly had another before Liverpool were able to finally, thankfully, put the match away.

Maxi’s third turned the match for good when it looked like Fulham could find a way back, and it came almost out of nothing. John Flanagan made a good run forward and laid it off for Maxi, who dribbled right a bit before deciding to unleash from range. The effort flew past Schwarzer into the top corner, giving Maxi his hat trick and snatching away any hope Fulham had of clawing back into it.

It would get better five minutes later, when an inch-perfect through ball from Jonjo Shelvey freed Luis Suarez on the right. Sublime footwork got him past Schwarzer, and he spun it in for another deserved reward for a match spent terrorizing Fulham’s back line. From the nerves of the possibility of a Fulham second to completely out of reach in a heartbeat—another three points for Liverpool, five goals for the second time in three matches, and optimism at a fever pitch even after Steve Sidwell grabbed a second with a well-taken strike.

There’s little that needs saying about the type of performance that Liverpool put together in the first half—they were simply dominant, and in the opening fifteen minutes it looked as though they were capable of scoring double digits on the day. Even the hoofing worked, as Fulham’s back line proved themselves incapable of dealing with Luis Suarez, whose running and creativity wreaked havoc. The goals stopped for a bit, and Fulham could have made things very difficult, but Liverpool rebounded and eventually left no doubt.

It goes without saying that when Liverpool were at their best it was because of a cohesive effort from front to back; Glen Johnson was absolutely fantastic nearly all match long, getting forward at will (and creating the second) while still having one of his better defensive efforts of the season, and John Flanagan rarely looked out of place on the left. Slightly more concerning was the second-half wobbles from Jamie Carragher (making his 666th appearance for the club) and Martin Skrtel, who excelled early but struggled mightily when Zamora was introduced. Pepe Reina wasn’t called into action on many occasions outside of Fulham’s two taken chances, but was solid when needed and could do little on either goal.

The changing shape of the front six had little impact on their effectiveness, as Jay Spearing and Lucas continued to break up play and pace things along, setting the tempo for Liverpool’s high-pressured approach. Maxi, Raul Meireles, and Dirk Kuyt were terrific in more advanced roles behind Luis Suarez—they all played at a high level, as did Jonjo Shelvey after coming on for an injured Raul Meireles. While Maxi got the hat trick, Suarez turned in another MOTM performance. He was on another level, running for what seemed like the entire match, darting past Fulham defenders at will, and finishing expertly for the fifth and final goal.

For most of the first part of the season, I couldn’t wait for summer. I counted down the number of remaining matches and dreaded watching those that were left. Watching Liverpool play had become an exercise in self-harm. Now, the season couldn’t go long enough. This Liverpool side and their manager have completely transformed our experience as supporters in a matter of months, and I want nothing more than for it to continue. It’s a shame there’s only two matches left.

Great start to the short week, and I can’t wait for Sunday.

    Tweet « Matchday: Liverpool v. Fulham | Home | AvinashThey are making us dream again. Its scary. But its fucking awesome.alcatrazzledazzleSo I brought two potential Liverpool converts to watch the game at a bar today. One was sold by the brilliant Maxi goals; the other was sold by the insanely catchy Suarez song. Two more fans in the bank and three more points in the table. Well done, Reds!
cheekyfellowHaha, I remember your last post regarding the converts. A perfect game for that. Good thing this wasn't in September!RedDownUndaYou drag yourself out of the cot just in time for second half, stumble downstairs squinting mightily as the tele blinks on, and peer through your fingers hoping, hoping, hoping we're not down a couple. And WTF! Three have already gone in. And then 4. And 5. And we're so far ahead I can even muster the grace to appreciate Fulham's two good strikes without breaking into a sweat. And it's Maxi! And Kuyt. And even JJJJJJoJo's looking good. And Swervez...no words needed, what a performance.


And I must be in the 80's. Pinch me somebody.
Tom Foolery"Swervez"! What a perfect play on the lad's name.cheekyfellowMight favorite moments were two subtle occasions involving Lucas. Twice, when a forward play for liverpool had ended, Lucas was up front at their defensive line putting pressure. He committed a smart foul each time to interrupt the play - thus preventing ANY form of counter attack. Class.arn00bChelsea fan here. Great result. I know that it's not fun playing hope, but I'm really hoping that you somehow snatch 4th place. I hope they find some clerical error in City's documents, 3rd party ownership, something, anything... I'd rather see Liverpool play in CL rather than Mancini's city.

Mancini, with all the money in the world, has a 54.22% win ratio. Dalglish has a 52.38%. I'd hate to see City drudge through CL group stages with 1-0 victories and 0-0, 1-1 draws against second-rate teams to get second, only to crash out in the last-16 against the first team with real ambition.

This is a team that drew Leicester and Notts County in the FA cup, got eliminated by WBA in the Carling Cup, and finished last in the New York Football Challenge. It looks like a world class bore-fest.


EdAh, much appreciated. Would obviously love to see Liverpool pip City for fourth, but don't think I'd be alone in saying that the way Liverpool are finishing the season is reward enough after the way things started. Plus all that stuff about despising City and all that they stand for.ZachThere had better be one of those player compilations of Suarez for this game. I'd watch that so much, it'd be burnt into my dreams.DJ ChutfieldAn exercise in self-harm, that is a PERFECT description of Hodgson's reign. I had a little chuckle at Suarez of all people claiming a red card and penalty for handball off the line. Just shows his commitment to the cause and how passion overrides even common sense in the heat of the moment. It wouldn't have been as funny if the game wasn't already done and dusted, though.Ismael JawadPretty good game summary. Just wondering why you overlooked the Suarez-Hangeland incident between the second and third goal. Hangeland should've been sent off and honestly I wouldn't blame him if he did it on purpose; Suarez was simply unplayable for the whole 90 minutes. Salcido should've been sent off as well for a second bookable offense late in the game when he tackled Suarez.
EdYeah, there's probably plenty I missed or got wrong--tried to rush to get this posted before I left work, and with the way our admin server is running there wasn't any time to edit.


As for that specific incident, had Suarez gone down immediately I think it would have been red and free-kick/penalty. Trying to stay up probably didn't help, but neither did having Lee Mason as the referee.
Ismael JawadYup, the lad never really goes down easily. I guess it has something to do with his fighting spirit. He's probably still running around at Craven Cottage right now.
EdI think he's actually gotten better since he arrived in this respect--I remember in a few of his early appearances thinking that we might have to stomach some flopping to go with the flair, but he seems like he's toned it down quite a bit in the past few matches without sacrificing any of the spice. The man is on the verge of losing it every time a chance goes begging, and it's brilliant to see.
RoscoHello Ed/Noel finally managed to end my exile from the "Liverpool Offside" and just in time aswell, was beginning to get withdrawal symptoms.
A great all-round performance today, Spearing is really starting to make me feel better about our future prospects, along with the young full backs you have to think, after making a few new signings, this squad can really go places. Guarantee all those calling the likes of Maxi and Kuyt not worthy at the beginning of this year have changed their tune by now.

YNWAEdGlad you're back, but with the way things have been going I'm tempted to tell you to stay away.


SueCole got 12 minutes or so, did he touch the ball in open play? Useless hit. Suarez, wow, what an absolute gem! How does he keep the ball under control!?Tom FooleryA cosmic U-turn for every faction of the club and its supporters. Really, unbelievable stuff. Its a shame I missed the match, but its always nice to come home and scroll through comments that mostly involve screaming "Maxi!" every other line (alabamabob had the best line, "Game, set, Maxi"). Glenda makes quite a difference doesn't he? And, it looked like the passing range of Lucas set up a couple of the goals (wait, Lucas doesn't make forward passes. Right?). Can't wait for a replay/the MOTM 10+minutes highlights.

And, by the way....MAAAAAXXXIIII!!!!alabamabobWhy thank you sir.
KCOh WOW I missed the match because I wasn't feeling too good but I'm definitely going to rewatch it!! You know what I love about the Liverpool right now? They exceed EVERYONE's expectations. No one expected them to win by much (or even win at all) against Birmingham or Fulham but hey, 5 goals for Liverpool :D.Red2deathRight on. Summer's more of an untimely break than anything.

Wouldn't it be great if this season were 10 matches longer - preferably all of them against Utd.blog comments powered by Disqus
