Fulham seal date with Atl Madrid

FULHAM completed their fairytale run to the Europa League final as the unfashionable English club defeated Hamburg 2-1 in the semi-final second leg on Thursday.



Roy Hodgson's side looked on the verge of elimination when they trailed to Mladen Petric's first half free-kick with just 21 minutes left at Craven Cottage.

But two goals in seven minutes from Simon Davies and Zoltan Gera sealed a dramatic 2-1 aggregate triumph and a place in the final against Atletico Madrid at Hamburg's own Nordbank Arena on May 12.
