Local Dallas product Clint Dempsey's magical goal lifted Fulham over Juventus in Europa League play. After losing the opening leg of the matchup in Italy 3-1 Fulham came home for the second leg with work to do. An early Juventus goal from Trezeguet put Fulham in an even bigger hole, but the London side went to work and grabbed two goals back before halftime. Fulham was still down 4-3 on aggregate at that point, but the momentum was on their side as Clint Dempsey pushed them forward. Only four minutes into the second half Zoltan Gera drew a penalty kick and Fulham were all even. The home crowd urged Fulham to go for the winner and most of the remainder of the game was one way traffic as Juventus tried to hang on. Time was running out when the Texan Clint Demspey worked his magic scoring a goal that will be long remembered in Fulham lore. After a prolonged period of possession Dempsey picked up the ball at the top right of the 18 where he turned and placed a perfectly chipped ball into the top far corner of the Juventus goal for the winner.
