West Brom leave it late to deny Fulham

fulham 1 west brom 1: A LATE goal from substitute Somen Tchoyi earned West Brom a share of the spoils at Craven Cottage last night.

Fulham began life after Bobby Zamora without a recognised striker and it showed. While Martin Jol’s side kept possession with ease, they only had Clint Dempsey’s second-half effort to show for their hard work.

The hosts were made to pay for their futility eight minutes from time when Tchoyi, having come off the bench five minutes earlier, latched onto a pass from Scotland’s James Morrison to fire past David Stockdale.

Fulham pressed for a winner deep into stoppage time, although they were unable to find a way through and were met by boos at full time as West Brom manager Roy Hodgson secured a point on his first return to his former club.
