Europa League: Crusaders 1-3 Fulham – Matthew Briggs & Timmy Adamson Score Absolute Crackers (Photos & Video)

By Chris Wright

Not that it was a particularly easy ride, but Fulham put themselves in a strong position to finish off their second Europa League qualifier tie against Crusaders at the Cottage by way of a 3-1 win in Belfast last night.

Matthew Briggs tonked in the opener for Fulham from range, though Timmy Adamson drew the Northern Irish semi-pros level after pulling the ball down from the ether, juggling it over his marker and then applying a smart, volleyed finish ten minutes after the interval.

From what we can gather, the Crues took the game to Fulham for long stretches with the Cottagers largely restricted to pot-shots – but the Premier League side eventually hustled their way to a deceptively comfortable-looking final scoreline thanks to a header from Bobby Z and the obligatory Danny Murphy penalty.

    Is it just me or does it looks like they are playing on synthetic grass?

    what really got me was the music. i couldn’t have picked a better song myself.

    as the crusaders send in a ball, at :45 : “i guess she’s an xbox, and im more an atari”. classic.
