Premier League round-up:Goals from damien Duff and Clint Dempsey capped a storming Fulham recovery as Mark Hughes' shell-shocked side were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw at Eastlands, their third straight in the Premier League.
Hughes’ men were cruising home when Martin Petrov fired home their second on the hour, seven minutes after Joleon Lescott had knocked home the opener.
But eight minutes later the visitors were back on level terms when first Duff then Dempsey fired past Shay Given to lend another twist to an action-packed game.
It could have been worse for City as Bobby Zamora brought a late save out of Given as memories inevitably flicked back to Fulham’s ‘great escape’ from relegation with a 3-2 win at the ground in 2008.
Earlier, Micah Richards had had a first-half effort ruled out while Zamora and Diomansy Kamara were both guilty of glaring misses as the action swung from end to end.

Substitute Ivan Klasnic proved the hero, scoring his first goal for the club with the decisive strike in the 87th minute.
The hosts had been well in control as goals from Lee Chung-Yong and Gary Cahill put them 2-0 ahead.
Everton hit back with a wonder-strike from Louis Saha and Marouane Fellaini’s second-half equaliser, but Klasnic settled the issue late on.
