POST!! Bent should score, yet again. The striker pulls away from Williams and is found via the head of Chico. Bent lets the ball bounce before rifling an effort on goal. Vorm is routed to the spot but the ball cannons off the near post and away to safety.

Lovely play from the visitors. They pass the ball out of defence before de Guzman finds the overlapping Davies with a sweeping cross-field ball. Davies’ cross from the left is whipped in with pace but evades Bony.

Kasami now goes into the book. He clashes with de Guzman yet again and is shown the yellow card.

Fulham have really struggled in front of goal this season - Bent showing exactly why there. The Cottagers have scored just one goal in each of their last six matches at home.

BENT SHOULD SCORE!! Parker clips the ball over the top of the Swansea defence into the path of the on-loan striker. Unchallenged, Bent somehow heads wide from six yards when he really should score. Best chance of the game so far.

Very poor play again from Ruiz. He’s lacking in confidence at the minute and it’s really showing. Parker does superbly well to take the ball out of his half in an attempt to start a Fulham attack, but Ruiz needlessly gives the ball away.
26'
De Guzman and Kasami come to blows. The Fulham man leaves his foot in after the ball had gone. The referee leaves his cars in his pocket, but Kasami won’t get any more chances.

Swansea go close. Lamah has an effort on goal from the left of the penalty area, but the ball takes a deflection off Hughes and leaves Stekelenburg wrong-footed. The ball drifts narrowly wide of the post and out for a corner.
24'
Laudrup’s men are starting to put their pattern on this game now. Fulham are defending well and are keeping their opponents at bay, but they’re very much on the back foot.
23'
Fulham finally have the chance to break as Ruiz carries the ball out of his own half. Berbatov stands barely 10 feet away but Ruiz somehow manages to clip the ball over his teammate’s head and out for a goal kick. The wayward pass is met with groans from the Fulham fans inside Craven Cottage.
22'
Pozuelo goes down inside the Fulham penalty area under the challenge of Hughes. The referee was right on top of it and simply waves play on.
21'
All Swansea at the moment. When the hosts do have the ball they’re struggling to get out of their half.
20'
De Guzman collects the ball and looks to get past Hughes, though he loses his footing. The Dutchman is back up in a flash, however, dispossessing the Northern Irishman to send a dangerous cross into the penalty area. Bony rises high but is beaten by Amorebieta.

Very poor tackle from Boateng. He goes into the book early on after lunging into a tackle, bringing Dyer to the floor. Absolutely no need.
18'
It's now the visitors turn to pass it around well. Swansea have averaged a league-high 568 passes per game in the Premier League this season and have the second-best passing accuracy (86.3%) behind Man City.
17'
Fulham knock it around well, exchanging short, sharp passes as they move forward. Parker, Kasami and Ruiz are the men keeping the ball away from the visitors until Ruiz’s wayward pass is picked off by de Guzman.
16'
Great play from Boateng who tracks back well and clears up just in front of his defence after the Swans had passed the ball around amongst themselves, nearing the Fulham goal.
15'
Parker’s corner from the right isn’t cleared by the Swansea defence, the ball ricocheting around the penalty area before Amorebieta attempts an overhead kick from a tight angle. It drops wide. Not bad, though…
14'
Ruiz’s free-kick from the left is sent towards the near post with real pace, but Davies is able to get his to it and send it out for a corner. Decent bit of pressure from Fulham.
13'
Berbatov has been very quiet in these opening 10 minutes or so. Coming into this game he had scored just one goal in 855 minutes of Premier League football.

Parker has the first real effort on target. The former West Ham and Tottenham man sees the space open up in front of him thanks to runs from Ruiz and Bent so decides to have a pop at goal. It’s hit well but is straight at Vorm, who gathers easily.
