Fulham vs Arsenal

1. 90'

   FULL-TIME They looked very human for long spells here, but van der Sar's error and Reyes' alertness proved enough for a first win in four. Onwards to Highbury...

2. 90'

   FULL-TIME No matter - it's all over. Thirty-seven down, one to go. Only Leicester now stand between Arsenal and immortality

3. 90'

   Lehmann takes it off the top of his opposite number's head and throws it quickly to Henry. His effort at finding the empty net from 70 yards is best forgotten

4. 90'

   Van der Sar's punt comes off Keown and the keeper's going to lumber up for the corner...

5. 90'

   Aliadiere shoves over Legwinski and Fulham have one last chance to pump a long ball into the box...

6. 90'

   The champions look happy to run down the clock. Aliadiere is robbed in the corner, but Keown steps in

7. 90'

   Henry and Cole opt for a bit of keepball by the corner flag and kill some time by forcing another corner...

8. 90'

   Decent enough effort from Henry, but van der Sar's tip over was routine

9. 90'

   The ref marches the free-kick forward 10 yards - Henry's ears suddenly prick up...

10. 89'

    Henry bows down to ref Dean in mock homage after he gets a free-kick for a tug by Davis. the Fulham man kicks the ball away and gets a late booking

11. 88'

    SUB! It's Martin Keown time. The veteran stays on course for a medal by replacing the disappointing Ljungberg

12. 87'

    Volz pumps a long ball into the box, where his team-mates are camped out. McBride heads it back across goal, but Malbranque can't force it over the line from four yards out

13. 86'

    Three Fulham players stand over it, but this isn't one from the training ground. Malbranque opts for the good, honest blast and it hits the wall

14. 85'

    Danger at the other end as Parlour upends Malbranque bang on the edge of the box. He's booked to boot...

15. 84'

    Clichy's added something on the left, and he waltzes all the way through before ruining it by poking a feeble shot at the keeper

16. 83'

    Henry mops it up at the near post and his clearance goes all the way through to van der Sar

17. 83'

    Vieira gives another free-kick away. This one's taken quickly, and John's shot deflects behind for a corner...

18. 82'

    The game's opening up now, and Legwinski clears Lehmann's crossbar with an effort at the other end

19. 81'

    Arsenal come in numbers again - there are four of them up there, but neither Ljungberg nor Clichy can get in a shot and the chance goes

20. 80'

    Henry feeds Aliadiere, who takes Pearce for a run before returning a pass. Henry's touch is poor though

21. 79'

    Still Fulham press down the right, but this time there's no shooting chance and Arsenal can break...

22. 78'

    SUB! Arsene Wenger decides to give Cole a bit of protection. Clichy's on for Pires at left midfield

23. 77'

    The clearance is down the Arsenal left, and almost leads to a leveller. Malbranque steers a pass in for Volz, who rattles a shot inches past the far post

24. 77'

    Van der Sar's confidence hasn't been dented by his earlier blunder. The onrushing Aliadiere is sold a dummy and the big keeper clears

25. 75'

    Out comes Lehmann to act as sweeper. He keeps his cool to find Vieira but bizarrely hangs around in the left-back slot for a return pass!
