Upton Park, East London
West Ham Utd. 1 Fulham 1
West Ham continues on their unbeaten run, but one point is merely one point, evidently not three. This game was a commentators’ dream, for it matched American striker Clint Dempsey against English goalkeeper Rob Green for the first time since Green’s colossal mistake in the World Cup, which gave Dempsey a “goal” and the USA an equaliser. Dempsey scored in this game, too, but it was superb, where his former goal was incredibly fortunate. West Ham played the second half as it did not the first and equalised after a few minutes of the restart with a superb goal that came from a Luis Boa Morte threaded pass and a wonderful cross from Victor Obinna that curled away from the Fulham goalie’s outstretched hand and landed on the forehead of Frédéric Piquionne. Later on, Green saved superbly from Dempsey, which means we hope he has put his demons behind him. A point at home is two points dropped, but there are visible signs of improvement. - Terry B.
