Fulham 2-1 Everton

Phew, wow, hurray! A reminder that Roy knows what he's doing and that last season's magic didn't get lost over the summer. Today was classic Hodgson-era Fulham, solid, strong, hard-working and occasionally flat out excellent. A win to put smiles on faces.

The game started slowly, with some wonderful centre-back/centre-forward duels but few chances.
