Clint Dempsey capped a storming Fulham recovery from 2-0 down
as Mark Hughes' shell-shocked Manchester City were forced to settle
for their third straight Premier League draw.
Hughes' men were cruising home when Martin Petrov fired home their
second on the hour, seven minutes after Joleon Lescott had knocked
home the opener.
But eight minutes later the visitors were back on level terms when
first Damien Duff and then Dempsey fired past Shay Given to lend
another twist to an action-packed game.
It could have been worse for City as Bobby Zamora brought a late
save out of Given as memories inevitably flicked back to Fulham's
`great escape' from relegation with a 3-2 win at Eastlands in 2008.
