Fulham breathed fresh life into the Barclays Premier League title race with a sensational 2-0 victory against nine-man Manchester United at Craven Cottage. Danny Murphy put Fulham ahead in the 17th minute when he converted from the penalty spot after Paul Scholes was sent off for handling a header from Bobby Zamora. Substitute Zoltan Gera then completed a fabulous afternoon for the Cottagers when he hooked home a cross by Andrew Johnson three minutes from time. United were then reduced to nine men when substitute Wayne Rooney was dismissed for a second bookable offence seconds later. It was United’s second successive defeat following their 4-1 home mauling by Liverpool last weekend and the first time the champions and league leaders had suffered back-to-back losses in the league since April 2005.
