Cottagers striker pleased to have notched first goal since serious injury
Bobby Zamora is delighted to be back among the goals following a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
The Fulham striker suffered a broken ankle against Wolves in September, the day after penning a new long-term contract at Craven Cottage.
It has been a long road back for the England international, with a large part of the season having passed him by.
He has, however, returned to action over recent weeks and found the target for the first time since earning a first-team recall in Fulham's 3-2 victory over Blackburn on Saturday.
Nerves
He kept his cool to slot home a last-minute penalty, helping him to banish his injury demons and the Cottagers to another welcome three points.
On his late spot-kick, Zamora said: "I don't normally take penalties but there were a few nervous people out there and Danny Murphy had been substituted.
"Clint [Dempsey, who missed a late penalty against Chelsea recently] picked the ball up and passed it straight to me, so he obviously didn't want it and I was happy to take it and get my name back on the scoresheet.
"It's always tough when you're out injured for so long and the hardest part was being stuck in the gym while all the lads were training."
