Masked Man strikes to down Fulham It was a night of firsts at Craven Cottage as Ashkan Dejagah scored his first Premier League goal to put Fulham in front, only to see his celebrations cut short by debut League goals from the young Lewis Holtby and Vlad Chirches, still sporting a plastic mask from the broken nose he sustained in November.

A new look Fulham side, led by the recently appointed Meulensteen, headed into the game having made 7 changes from the side that lost to West Ham on the weekend. The changes seemed to have the desired effect as Fulham pegged back Spurs in the first 15 minutes of the game despite not having the lion’s share of possession. The first chance of the night fell to the newly restored Jermaine Defoe who forced a neat but easy save from Steklenburg after breaking through the Fulham back line. Fulham were not to be outdone however and Berbatov found himself clean through in the Spurs area only to see his usually near perfect touch desert him allowing Lloris to easily collect the ball without ever being in real danger.
