Gomes (9) – Some outstanding saves, particularly the first half tip over from Murphy and the second half dive to his left to keep out a Zamora header.
Corluka (7) – Familiarly solid. Didn’t get forward much but Fulham didn’t get behind him either.
Assou-Ekotto (7) – More signs of a return to form. Some lovely pieces of skill to make room for himself.
Bassong (7) – Struggled with Zamora but then so did everyone.
Dawson (8) – Decisive, emphatic and excellent again. Is forming a good partnership with Bassong, will be interesting to see if Ledley gets a game on Monday.
Lennon (6) – Starved of possession and found getting past Konchesky difficult when he did get the ball. Still swung in a couple of decent crosses.
Jenas (6) – As with all the midfield found space hard to come by. Worked tirelessly.
Palacios (8) – Just his sort of game. Was constantly harrying, running and tackling to great effect. Some trademark dodgy distribution.
Kranjcar (7) – His quick feet and thinking got him space sometimes. Nice free kick just wide in the first half, tired in the second.
Crouch (7) – Crowded out and buffeted around by the Fulham back four but kept going right to the end. Won plenty in the air and had our only on target effort on goal.
Keane (5) – Obvious lack of speed. Also failed to anticipate Crouch’s knockdowns too often.
