Fulham continued to show improvement in
the last third of the pitch with good goals by both Steve Marlet and Louis
Saha and the possibility of European football next year is again being discussed.
It seemed at first that we were going to let the three points go north when
a looping cross was allowed to be nudged inside the post by Cooper of Middlesbrough
due to a mis-understanding between Edwin van der Sar and Sylvain Legwinski.
But the Fulham revolution is still going strong and Jean Tigana's Black
and White army pushed forward to get back into the game. Sylvain Legwinski
then had to be taken off with just 36 min gone, seemingly suffering a muscle
pull from an earlier clash, and was replaced by Louis Saha. The three man
attack of Saha and Marlet outwide with Bazza Hayles in the centre changed
the whole game and within minutes not only had Louis got his first goal
since the middle of November Steve Marlet had his third in four outings.
The second half saw a continued assault on the Middlesbrough goal and further
goals were only avoided by massed defensive activity by the Northerners.
Ref Dean also played his part in keeping the score down by refusing Fulham
penalty claims and breaking up our attacks with decisions he did not make
when Boro players were the perpetrators.
An excellent days work by the Fulham squad and management with Steve Marlet
knockers starting to prepare their hats for eating.
Other games
After Saturday's results were all in we went up one place as Aston Villa
were able to beat Derby 2-1. Better news was that chelsea drew away at Bolton
and Tottenham lost away at Ipswich. So we have a game in hand and are just
2 points short of European qualification.

The troubles for Derby continued as they had a man sent off
in their 2-1 defeat at Villa Park. Darius Vassell put the home side
ahead after 12 minutes with a neat finish only for Darryl Powell (23)
to pull the Rams level. Defender Francois Grenet was then shown a
red card for a professional foul on Lee Hendrie, and Villa wasted
no time in making their advantage count as leading scorer Juan Pablo
Angel nodded them back in front on 26 minutes.

Andy Cole marked his home debut with a goal on the stroke of half-time
as Blackburn thumped 10-man Charlton 4-1 at Ewood Park.
The England striker, signed from Manchester United for £8million at
the end of December, had earlier combined to set up Tugay to fire
Rovers ahead on five minutes with a curling effort from just inside
the box. Jason Euell gave Charlton hope on 53 minutes, but Scott Parker
was then sent off for a professional foul on Matt Jansen just after
the hour, with Craig Hignett (85) and Jansen (89) completing the route.

Tugay, Dunn, Duff, Cole, Jansen.

Bolton twice battled back to earn a precious point against
Champions League hopefuls Chelsea at the Reebok. Eidur Gudjohnsen
netted against his former club to fire the visitors ahead eight minutes
into the second half, but the advantage was short-lived as Michael
Ricketts levelled with his 14th of the season on 56 minutes. Substitute
Mikael Forssell (65) gave Chelsea the lead again only for Kevin Nolan
to pop up with 11 minutes left to grab a hard-earned share of the
spoils for Sam Allardyce's men.

Middlesbrough are now just a point above the drop zone after
going down 2-1 to Fulham, despite taking the lead at Craven
Cottage. Colin Cooper (nine) headed Boro in front from close range
when he capitalised on a defensive mix-up, but substitute Louis Saha
(40) levelled. A goal on the stroke of half-time from record signing
Steve Marlet proved enough to give Jean Tigana's men all three points
- and leave Steve McLaren's men with a real battle on their hands
to stay up.

Leeds scored the fastest goal of the Barclaycard Premiership
season so far when Alan Smith gave them a lead after just 25 seconds
at St James' Park, but it was Newcastle who ended the day on
top of the table once again. Smith played a sublime one-two with Mark
Viduka to race clear and he made no mistake from 15 yards. As half-time
was approaching, the Magpies were back on level terms when the hapless
Michael Duberry (44 minutes) headed Craig Bellamy's cross past his
own goalkeeper. Newcastle took a deserved lead when Kieron Dyer shot
home on the hour. The visitors were then reduced to 10 men when Danny
Mills was sent off with 20 minutes to go. Bellamy then made Leeds'
misery complete with a neat finish three minutes from time.
