City held by Cottagers

Mark Hughes' Manchester City blew a two-goal lead and had to settle for a 2-2 draw with Fulham in an action-packed game at Eastlands.

Joleon Lescott and Martin Petrov put City in control by the hour mark but Roy Hodgson's men stormed back with two goals in six minutes, from Damien Duff and Clint Dempsey.

Micah Richards had a first-half effort disallowed for a foul but it could have been worse for City with Bobby Zamora and Diomansy Kamara both missing simple chances.
