Fulham manager Martin Jol has expressed his delight after his team cam back from 2-0 down to salvage a point against Manchester City at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

The London outfit fell behind to two Sergio Aguero goals, but strikes from Bobby Zamora and Danny Murphy saw the game finish 2-2.

With the quality on show for the visitors, the Dutch coach was ecstatic to get an unlikely point.

“We showed great spirit to comeback. We did different things in the second half better and maybe we were a little unlucky not to have scored more than two goals,” he told Sky Sports.

“Although we wanted to put pressure on the Manchester City midfield, we couldn’t handle Yaya Toure and Gareth Barry in the middle of the park, so that was the problem, but we put more pressure on them in the second half.

“We tried to get different players on the ball and we had nothing to lose, so that sometimes helps. To fight back against a team like City is unbelievable. If you get a bit of control and take the initiative, it helps,” he continued.

Jol was full of praise for striker Zamora, who troubled the City rearguard throughout the encounter.

“He is capable of scoring out of nothing and that is what we need and that’s what we need every game.

“If you ask him what is your best foot, he would say both feet. He had a shot in the first half which went over the roof but he will try, he’s a confident player and what he did with the goal really helped us because it brought us back into the game.”

Despite the morale boosting draw, the Cottagers are yet to record a victory this season, but Jol thinks this is only round the corner.

“That’s the only thing. We need the points and we have played three home games and got three draws. We’ve been a bit unfortunate, but I’m sure it will come,” he concluded.
