Result: Fulham 1-1 FC Twente

Fulham let slip a one-goal lead to draw 1-1 against FC Twente in their opening Europa League group stage match at Craven Cottage.

Martin Jol's side went ahead after 20 minutes when a resurgent Andrew Johnson capitalised on some calamitous defending to slot home.

The teams were level at the break after Luuk de Jong's downward header bounced back off the post before hitting keeper Mark Schwarzer and going back into the net.

Fulham dominated much of the second half but were unable to find another goal, while Twente posed a threat in the latter stages but couldn't make the breakthrough.
