What a great victory. Right at the end of the game! Arteta scores a great penalty to keep the pressure on for Pool.
Everton sees Yak replacing Saha. Hibbo takes his rightful right back position while Arteta is back to hold the middle ground. Timmy is starting his 200th game for Everton. Great job!
Fulham seems to be preserving their team for the upcoming Europa game. Everton is in the ascendancy for a good 10 minutes. Everton even threatened as early as the 2nd minute. A great first timer by Bily saw the ball ricocheting off the upright.
Everton has the ball all over the park but they are just not putting any pressure on the opposing goalkeeper. Yak had a chance in the 20th minute when a Fulham defender took his eye off the ball. Yak picked the ball and smashed it wide of goal. Timmy's turn to try in the 22nd minute. Wide right.
What was Bainesy thinking? Poor, poor back pass in the 36th minute! How could he have passed without even looking who is behind him? Everton 0-1 Fulham. Are they really interested in the game or are they just being too complecent? Yak nearly scored in the 39th minute but just to soft the shot. Everton better fight on. They'd better not think it's an easy match!
Everton's game is in a mess. Arteta is out to get himself sewn back. Half time couldn't have came earlier. Arteta is back after getting seven stitches.
Once again, Bily is taken off as he has been totally ineffective. Anichebe comes in for him. Great job!!! Everton is back. A cross from Arteta on the left saw Anichebe heading into goal off a deflection. Everton 1-1 Fulham. Assist: Arteta. It does not matter how it enters, so long as it's in. Everton is once again creating spaces for themselves. Timmy's goalward header in the 52nd minute was saved! Point blank!
Saha is in for Neville in the 60th minute. He has also made a couple of mis-passes today. What's new right? Pool is leading. So the chance of getting 7th place is slipping away from the Toffees.
Another player bleeds for the game:- Pienaar got a cut along the side of his head. Great play but a good block to prevent Timmy from scoring in the 79th minute. Even if Everton can't get 7th, they will still need to win this match!
Yak is being replaced by young Baxter in the 86th minute. Saha so nearly scored in the 90th minute! Side netting.
Unbelievable! 93rd minute, Everton took a final throw-in on the right of the field. Everton put in the ball. The onrushing Timmy was stopped abruptly in the penalty box. Nerve-wrecking moment for the entire team. Arteta stepped up, took a few step forward and curled the ball to the left of the goal. Goal!!!!! Everton 2-1 Fulham.
So, so close.
