Sven sweating as Fulham breathe again

IT could not have gone much worse for Sven Goran Eriksson.

Rather like meeting the parents of a partner for the first time, only to discover that you don’t quite live up to their expectations, the Manchester City manager may just have given the club’s success-thirsty owner, Thaksin Shinawatra, the same impression as Fulham were allowed to claim an incredible victory at Eastlands.

Three goals in the final 20 minutes, two from substitute Diomansy Kamara, turned defeat into victory for a Fulham team that now harbours genuine hope of avoiding relegation from the Premier League.
