Half-Time Report: Fulham, Swansea City level at half time

Fulham and Swansea City are drawing 0-0 at half time in their Premier League match this afternoon.

The home side pushed forward early on, and Dimitar Berbatov showed his quality with a bicycle kick that flew into Michel Vorm's arms.

The Swans failed to make their spell of pressure count in the opening 10 minutes, their best moments being a corner that was cleared and a Jonathan de Guzman free kick that Fulham dealt with.

Pajtim Kasami claimed for a penalty after Fulham stole the ball from their opponents, and then Roland Lamah raided down the wing for the away side as the match swung from end to end.

However, Swansea were inches away from taking the lead with 25 minutes on the clock. Lamah ran down the left and cut inside before firing a shot that took a deflection and went just wide.

It was Fulham's turn to then go close as Darren Bent directed a header wide after Scott Parker had found the striker at the back post.

Bent came even closer minutes later, this time hitting the post with a half-volley after being left unmarked in the middle.

Swansea had two good chances to take the lead just before half time, first through Nathan Dyer, who saw his shot saved, and then Wilfried Bony, who headed over the bar.
