And just like that, they’re even at the Emirates. A long ball knocked down. A defender briefly stunned. Some fancy work on the ball and an easy finish. Fulham has equalized, leaving their match with Arsenal drawn 1-1 near the half hour mark.
Arsenal Vs. Fulham: Diomansy Kamara, Clint Dempsey Take Advantage Of Gunners Lapse, Pull Cottagers Even
A long ball targeting Diomansy Kamara saw the Fulham striker in an aerial challenge with the Arsenal center halves. The Senegalese won the challenge, knocking the ball down for a supporting Clint Dempsey while Laurent Koscielny put hand to mouth, apparently stunned by something that happened in the challenge.
Meanwhile, Dempsey eluded a challenge from Alex Song, giving himself enough time to chip a pass into the spot vacated by Koscielny. There, Kamara took the pass and beat an oncoming Lukasz Fabianski, pulling Fulham even after thirty minutes.
Minutes later, Koscielny was removed from the match on a stretcher, replaced by Johan Djourou. The commentators could only speculate as to what happened, with initiate replaced inconclusive.
Since the goal, Fulham has played with an injection of confidence, though Arsenal is still the side in charge. Now five minutes before half, Arsenal and Fulham are drawn at one in North London.
