New boy Gera gives Fulham friendly win over Ulsan Hyundai

Second-half strikes from Wales international Simon Davies and new signing Zoltan Gera earned Fulham victory over Ulsan Hyundai in Korea's Big Crown Stadium today.

As well as Gera, Cottagers boss Roy Hodgson included recent additions Mark Schwarzer, John Pantsil and Bobby Zamora in his starting XI and saw the latter strike the crossbar inside the first minute.

But with 32 minutes gone, Fulham fell behind after Pantsil blocked a shot on the edge of the area and the ball squirmed to Lee Jin Ho, who headed home from six yards.

Substitute Jimmy Bullard set up the equaliser, producing a fine cross from the left flank which Davies headed in from the penalty spot.

Another half-time replacement, Seol Ki-Hyeon, created the winner by beating his marker and crossing in from the byline where he found Gera.

The Hungarian, signed from Premier League newcomers West Brom, saw his first attempt saved but squeezed his second shot over the line after David Healy regained the loose ball.
