UNSUNG HEROES

Share Norwegian defender Brede Hangeland made himself a Craven Cottage hero as Fulham held on for a superb 1-0 victory over Arsenal to atone for their opening weekend defeat at Hull.

Arsenal's performance exposed some clear flaws in Arsene Wenger's team just four days before their Champions League second-leg qualifier against FC Twente.

This was their first defeat of the season and a worrying one which ended with captain William Gallas remonstrating with referee Martin Atkinson and an assistant referee.
