'Saha can be our joker'

Christian Damiano hopes Louis Saha will be the “joker” who saves Fulham’s Premiership season after he helped the Cottagers conquer Birmingham and clinch their place in tomorrow’s FA Cup fourth-round draw.

The 27-year-old French striker, out since September with a hamstring problem, returned a fortnight ahead of schedule to score the goal of the game in today’s 3-1 stroll against the disjointed Blues at Loftus Road.
