 Fulham v C. Palace - Match Report - www.Fulhamweb.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)

Fulham were back on top now and they deservedly retook the lead in the 60th minute thanks to the brilliance of Cole who worked his way between two defenders in the tightest of spaces before nudging the ball past Kiraly.
