Murphy calls for Fulham spirit

FULHAM captain Danny Murphy has urged his team-mates to keep their fighting spirit alive as they face a tough visit to bitter London rivals Chelsea and a trip to Newcastle.

Fulham were trailing to a Marc Albrighton first-half goal against Aston Villa at Craven Cottage on Saturday before Brede Hangeland headed home Murphy’s well-placed free-kick in the fifth minute of added time.

Fulham’s never-say-die attitude earned them a vital point and now Murphy wants his team-mates to show the same passion and commitment against Chelsea on Wednesday and Newcastle next weekend.
