A sumptuous volley from Dimitar Berbatov was enough to settle a forgettable encounter between Fulham and Stoke at Craven Cottage.
Berbatov struck his ninth goal of the season on the stroke of half-time after the hosts had dominated possession without truly testing Asmir Begovic.
The volley was head and shoulders above the general quality of the match with Stoke forward Jonathan Walters missing a second-half penalty as Fulham moved to within a point of the Potters in the Barclays Premier League table.
