Well Done Fulham............
Fulham 4 - 1 Juventus
Unheralded English side Fulham enjoyed their greatest ever victory when they came from behind to beat stunned Italian giants Juventus 4-1 and reach the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday.
Their astonishing 5-4 aggregate success was all the more remarkable as former European champions Juve, 3-1 ahead from the first leg of the last 16 tie, had extended their advantage in the second minute through David Trezeguet.
But the competition favourites imploded after Italy's World Cup-winning captain Fabio Cannavaro was sent off in the 28th minute for bringing down Zoltan Gera.
A night that started so well for the Italians turned into a nightmare as they finished with nine men after Jonathan Zebina was sent off just before the end for kicking out at Fulham's inspirational Ireland midfielder Damien Duff.
Asked if it was the Premier League club's greatest night Fulham boss Roy Hodgson told reporters: "It must come close because we had a terrible start conceding a goal after only two minutes.
Brilliant result sticking it up those Iti's.........
