Fulham down brave Kettering

Simon Davies had fired the Barclays Premier League side ahead before Craig Westcarr levelled before the break.

Danny Murphy restored the Cottagers' advantage but Westcarr struck again from the spot before the late drama.

Kettering went behind after 12 minutes as a whipped-in cross from Clint Dempsey on the right was met by Davies whose right-foot volley lasered its way into the net of Kettering goalkeeper Lee Harper.

But Westcarr deservedly brought Kettering level in the 34th minute after his stirring run had been halted just outside the penalty box by Aaron Hughes.

Westcarr lined up the free-kick himself on the angle of the area and promptly sent his shot flying into Mark Schwarzer's net, albeit via a slight deflection off the wall on the way in.

Then came a cruel blow for the non-league side. A speculative shot from Murphy from outside the box took a wicked deflection off Exodus Geohaghon after 76 minutes and ended up flying past goalkeeper Harper.

The drama, however, was not over. Five minutes later Westcarr was brought down inside the box by Brede Hangeland and referee Mike Riley pointed to the spot.

Westcarr promptly slid the spot kick home for a deserved equaliser.

Even then there was more drama when first Johnson and then Zamora scored late goals to send Fulham through.
