Darren Bent keen for Fulham to kick on

Darren Bent is hopeful that his last-gasp goal in the 2-2 draw with Manchester United can act as the catalyst for transforming Fulham's fortunes this season.

United looked on course to beat the Cottagers at Old Trafford this evening after Robin van Persie and Michael Carrick struck in the final 10 minutes to negate Steve Sidwell's first-half opener.

However, Bent was on hand to rescue a point for the bottom-placed Londoners, and the former England international hopes that his contribution can be the "turning point" in their fight against relegation.

He told reporters: "The team worked so hard in the first half and when you go 2-1 down at these kind of places you think the worst but we hoped for one more chance and I managed top put it away.

"I hope this can be a turning point. When you come here you always have it hard but we didn't let out heads drop."

Rene Meulensteen's men, who remain rooted to the foot of the Premier League table, host Liverpool at Craven Cottage on Wednesday.
