Curtain comes down on Craven Cottage

Fulham 0, Leicester 0 (full-time)

Fulham’s final game at Craven Cottage before it is redeveloped failed to do justice to the famous names who have graced the old ground as Jean Tigana’s men stumbled to a 0-0 draw with relegated Leicester.

A succession of missed chances at both ends marked the end of Fulham’s 105-year history at the old stadium, which will undergo a facelift before they return in two seasons’ time.

Savage was booked for a wild lunge on Malbranque but Fulham failed to capitalise from the free-kick.

And Marlet then wasted anther good chance, putting a free header straight into Walker’s arms from a Malbranque cross as the game fizzled out.

It was a disappointing end to the illustrious history of Fulham’s old stadium.
