Clint Dempsey was at the heart of Fulham’s comeback at the DW Stadium on Saturday and the US international star was pleased to have continued Fulham’s positive start to the New Year.
“It was a battle on Saturday but that’s the way it is!” Dempsey told fulhamfc.com. "All you can do is go out there and fight and every game I try and show the Manager that I want to play and I can help the Team.
“I’m glad I was able to contribute in some way against Wigan and that was with an assist. There’s no black eye [for me] this time but I’ve got a busted lip!
“It was definitely frustrating out there – there was the one that was offside in the first-half that was close and then the one that hit my chest and arm at the same time.
“The Referee didn’t blow the whistle so I thought it was a goal but the linesman’s flag came up. But I was pleased to get the assist by finding AJ who delivered a great finish. It’s frustrating because it seemed like nothing was going our way. To get over that was great and also for AJ to get his first Premier League goal of the season.”
