Bobby Zamora was back on the score sheet in Fulham's last Premier League encounter, hitting the winner against Blackburn at Craven Cottage. With the Whites having won a penalty late on, Zamora bravely stepped up and clinched all thee points.
Looking back on the game, Brede Hangeland was certainly pleased to see Zamora’s spot kick nestle in the back of the net.
“It was a difficult game,” Hangeland said. “I felt that we were the better team but Blackburn battled really well and came back into the game twice. So it was really nice to get that goal at the end and for Bobby to score it.
“It was just a great moment for everyone involved with the Club, especially for him of course. We’ve missed him, but he was there for everyone to see. He’s back; he gave a good performance and scored a goal so we’re very happy for him.
“We’re certainly looking up the table more than down and I think if we perform well from now until the end of the season we could finish in the top half – that’s certainly the aim now.”
Fulham certainly had a wealth of attacking option to choose from against Blackburn, with Zamora, Gael Kakuta, Simon Davies and Eidur Gudjohnsen all waiting to back up the likes of Andrew Johnson, Mousa Dembele Clint Dempsey and Damien Duff.
“It’s great, that’s what we want all the time,” said Hangeland when questioned on the subject of attacking options. “There have been some hard times this season when all of our front men were injured so to have them all back is a great relief. There’s competition for places and that’s only a good thing for us.
“Injuries are part of football and we’ve been unlucky the front men this season but to be where we are now is quite good and we’re looking to do even better in the latter stages of the season.”
