Play by play
- 94'
<b>FULL TIME</b> Wenger mutters to himself as he trudges off the field and his side have shot themselves in the foot yet again - Djourou's dismissal turned the game and Fulham score two in the last five minutes to win it.
- 93'
A super goal from Zamora - excellent technique to watch the dropping ball, catch it sweetly and find the net.
- 92'
A splendid finish from Zamora as a cross is nodded into the air by Squillaci, and the big man volleys into the near post to win it for Fulham!

- 92'
Dembele's turn to have a pop - this one is wider than Riise a moment ago.
- 91'
Riise has his first pop of the night but though the power is there, the direction is not.
- 90'
Three minutes of added time....
- 89'
A rare break from Arsenal but Rosicky hits a half-hearted cross slash shot that sails wide of the target. Wenger not happy.
- 88'
Dembele finds Ruiz with a fantastic pass but the flag goes up - wrongly as it turns out! He was a yard on! He did miscontrol though.
- 87'
Its all Fulham now and Arsenal are penned in on their own box. Some respite though as Frei is flagged offside.
- 86'
Fulham can smell victory here, Arsenal wobbling. They had so many chances in the first half, too.
- 85'
It has been coming and Arsenal only have themselves to blame, Senderos is free at the back post after Szczesny failed to claim the ball, he heads across goal and Sidwell nods in from close range.

Zamora does well to scamper away from Ramsey and cross, the ball cannons off Dempsey and Arsenal have a goal kick.
- 80'
Kelly takes the free kick, extremely badly. Hits the wall and goes behind for a corner.
- 78'
Fulham argue the foul was in the box but it wasn't, it was just outside. Djourou makes the long walk to the tunnel and Fulham have a free kick right on the edge.
- 77'

Ruiz is penalised for a nudge when Dempsey was behind him in space.
- 75'
Fulham's best chance of the game as the ball spills through to Ruiz at the back post but he has hit his effort right at Szczesny from 14 yards out. Should have scored. Good stop.

- 73'
Frei looks lively, keen to take players on whenever he gets the ball. He wins a free kick on the left.

Fulham suffering from the Arsenal syndrome, trying to unpick the lock from the edge of the box.
