Fulham 4 Tottenham 0: Sloppy 刺激(する)s 支払う/賃金 the 刑罰,罰則 for Dawson's horror show

By Matt Barlow for the Daily Mail


魔法 of the Cup? It would be one explanation for a disappearing Tottenham defence. Now you see 'em, now you don't. So much for the year ending in a one.

Fulham made 刺激(する)s 支払う/賃金 for a first-half 業績/成果 reminiscent of the 開始 45 minutes away at の間の Milan. In the San Siro, they were three goals behind and 負かす/撃墜する to 10 men after 14 minutes and four 負かす/撃墜する by half-time. At Craven Cottage, they were two goals behind and 負かす/撃墜する to 10 men after 14 minutes and four 負かす/撃墜する by half-time. Only this time, there was no Gareth Bale to 海難救助 any respectability.

Bale's thrilling hat-trick against の間の glossed over a 4-3 敗北・負かす but the むちの跡s winger was absent with a 支援する 傷害 and there was nobody willing or able to deputise. Fulham coasted into the fifth 一連の会議、交渉/完成する and a date at home to Bolton or Wigan.

Seeing red: Michael Dawson was sent off early on

THE MANAGERS

示す Hughes made only one change from last week, with Carlos Salcido in for Chris Baird.

THE FANS

A few empty seats but nearly 22,000 支持者s inside Craven Cottage made for a decent atmosphere.

MAGIC MOMENT

John Pantsil’s celebratory sprint around three 味方するs of the ground after the final whistle.

示す Hughes talked of getting to the final after this 陳列する,発揮する. His team could easily have 追加するd to two Danny Murphy 刑罰,罰則s and goals from Brede Hangeland and Moussa Dembele.

Harry Redknapp shrugged off the 敗北・負かす and will search for a 調印 to give his team a fillip before the 移転 最終期限. 刺激(する)s have been off the boil since the turn of the year and played like a team with other 優先s.

Rafael 先頭 der Vaart, Redknapp's last 最終期限-day クーデター, struggled to get 伴う/関わるd and was 調書をとる/予約するd as he took out his 失望/欲求不満s with a 発射 from the halfway line and a late challenge on Murphy.

Luka Modric was asked to start 深い in central midfield on the toes of the central defenders but barely got a kick, and his 役割 changed when Redknapp was 軍隊d to 改造(する) after Michael Dawson's four-minute 炉心溶融 ended with a red card.

Clint Dempsey had already put a 解放する/自由な header wide when Dawson, having won the ball, turned a blind pass に向かって Alan Hutton and gave it to Andy Johnson, who 解放(する)d Dempsey on goal. Dembele cleverly 封鎖するd Dawson's 回復 run and Hutton careered 支援する to bundle the American over for a 刑罰,罰則. Murphy celebrated 調印 a one-year 契約 拡張 by 開始 the 得点する/非難する/20ing.

Three minutes later, Fulham's captain was tucking his second 刑罰,罰則 of the game into the opposite corner and Dawson was 長,率いるing for the dressing room. This time, the 刺激(する)s 船長/主将 tried a Cruyff turn on the 辛勝する/優位 of his own area, lost the ball to Dembele and grabbed a fistful of the ベルギー's shirt as his 発射 was saved by Heurelho Gomes.

審判(をする): Phil Dowd 7.

Redknapp thought it was '厳しい' but he had not seen a replay. When he does, he might agree 審判(をする) Phil Dowd made the 権利 call and was left with little 選択 but to send off Dawson, who will 行方不明になる Wednesday's game at Blackb urn.

With Younes Kaboul out for six weeks after a 膝 操作/手術, Ledley King 負傷させるd and Jonathan Woodgate not ready to return after his long 傷害 lay-off, Tottenham's 選択s are few.

William Gallas is carrying a nagging hip 傷害 but was 軍隊d on after Dawson's 解雇/(訴訟の)却下, and it was like a Fulham training 演習 as Damien Duff tore past Benoit Assou-Ekotto and crossed for his strikers to practise their finishing.

Throw in a large helping of clowning from Gomes and it was a 防御の shambles. One 流出/こぼす from the Brazilian keeper led to a 貧しく defended corner and Hangeland swept in the third at the far 地位,任命する.

The fourth, in the third minute of first-half 追加するd time, was a wonderful goal which didn't deserve to be tainted by more awful defending. Dembele collected 所有/入手 on halfway, jinked past Sebastien Bassong's feeble challenge and carried the ball to the 辛勝する/優位 of the 刺激(する)s area before 味方する-stepping Gallas and curling a left-footer low into the corner of the 逮捕する.

Fulham had already made it a club 記録,記録的な/記録する 勝利,勝つ against 刺激(する)s but might have 得点する/非難する/20d more. Gomes saved 井戸/弁護士席 from Dempsey, who also whipped a 20-yarder just over. Aaron Hughes 長,率いるd against the 妨げる/法廷,弁護士業 from a corner and Jermaine Jenas (疑いを)晴らすd off the line. Gomes also saved with his foot from Zoltan Gera.
