Arteta’s double vision fails to stop him grabbing Everton’s late winner

LESS than 48 hours after more European heroics, Roy Hodgson’s much-changed Fulham were left frustrated after going down to a last-gasp defeat against Everton yesterday.

After a goalless draw in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final in Hamburg on Thursday, Hodgson made nine changes for the match at Goodison Park.

The only outfield player to survive from the Nordbank Arena was Chris Baird, who is suspended for Thursday night’s return game at Craven Cottage. Even so, with the likes of Clint Dempsey and Erik Nevland putting in outstanding performances, Fulham’s second string came close to picking up a first-ever victory at Goodison Park.
