Roy Hodgson's side trail Juventus 3-1 from the first leg and you can follow all the action from Craven Cottage with Sportsmail as the west London club attempt to keep their European dream alive. Tom Bellwood has the news from 5.30pm.[LNB] EUROPA LEAGUE Fulham 3 Juventus 1 (agg 4-4)7.09: Substition for Juventus ... Camoranesi is replaced by De Ceglie. Attacking move from Juve. [LNB]7.05: GOAL! ZOLTAN GERA sends Chimenti the wrong way to level the tie on aggregate. Unbelievable stuff from Fulham who must believe they can go and and win this now. [LNB]7.04: PENALTY TO FULHAM! Duff dinks a ball around Diego and his left hand connected with the ball. Zoltan Gera to take it...[LNB]7.02pm: And we're back underway. Just how dramatic can this next 45 minutes be?[LNB]6.47: HALF TIME, well, that was a half of two halves. Fulham looked dead and buried after David Trezeguet fired Juve in front after 90 seconds. Then Bobby Zamora turned up. He's scored a goal, set up another and could have had another two or three. He has covered every blade of grass and has the visiting defence in his back pocket. Oh, and the Italian giants have had a player sent off, too! Roy Hodgson's side can do this. [LNB]6.45: We'll have two minutes added on ... but I don't want this half to end, it has been fantastic. [LNB]6.43: The Juventus fans looked a little stunned. And I can understand why. They are being torn apart by the one-man band that is Bobby Zamora who is having the game of his life while Fabio Capello watches on.  [LNB]6.39: GOAL! ZOLTAN GERA with a smart finish from a couple of yards to round off a wonderful move and give Fulham the belief they can win this. Credit to Zamora who's wonderful touch played  in Simon Davies to cut back for Gera. Brilliant stuff.[LNB] Zoltan the great: Gera puts Fulham in front after rounding off a wonderful move[LNB]6.34 Davies hits the crossbar! He sent his free-kick to the back post, the keeper was stranded and Zamora couldn't pick up the re-bound ... and Etuhu headed against the post from the resulting corner. Fulham asking ALL the questions now. [LNB]6.33: This is all a bit more excitement than I can handle this early in the evening. Zamora wins another free-kick out wide on the right ... Davies to take it. [LNB]6.28: What a save from Chimenti! Direct from the free-kick after Cannavaro's sedning off, Zamora smashed a fine effort that looked to be ehading intot he top  right-hnad corner but the third choice 39-year-old keeper stuck out a palm to keep it out.[LNB]6.27: Substitution ... Candreva is replaced by Grygera.[LNB]6.25: RED CARD FABIO CANNAVARO walks after tugging down Zoltan Gera and denying him a goal-scoring opportunity. That looked a little over-zealous from the Dutch ref as it  Grosso was coming round to cover. [LNB]6.20: That has to be a penalty for  Fulham. Three Juventus defenders, wrestle, push and grapple players to the ground as a corner comes in ... nothing given. Sissoko had grabbed Zamora in head-lock! Nice to see the system of five officials is working so well. [LNB] Bobby dazzler: Zamora's strike puts Fulham right back into the tie[LNB]6.15: Cannavaro shows more poor judgment in his own box, wrestling Bobby Zamora to the ground but the ref doesn't spot it.  If anything, it was worse than Lucio v Drogba the other night. [LNB]6.12: Diego forces a fine save out of Mark Schwarzer and Camoranesi  has gone in the book for a  late lunge on Konchesky. Oh, and the atmosphere has returned to Craven Cottage. [LNB]6.09: GOAL! BOBBY ZAMORA fires Fulham back into it. Zamora out-muscles Cannavaro, chests down Konchesky's cross and slams past Chimenti from six yards. [LNB]6.06: Is anyone else completely deflated by that goal? The ground, which, was buzzing seconds ago is now mute. [LNB]6.01: GOAL! DAVID TREZEGUET with 98 seconds on the clock, a hammer-blow for Fulham who now need three. Some suspect defending from Hangeland who failed to clear a loose ball and Trezeguet side-footed home from 12 yards. [LNB]6pm: Fulham all in white gets us underway, Juventus in their third goal strip will attack the Hammersmith End.[LNB] Early set-back: Trezeguet opens the scoring inside two minutes[LNB]5.59pm: The early kick off hasn't deterred any fans from making it in time for the start of this match. A packed house in west London (and me) hoping for an early goal to set up a famous victory. You never know. [LNB]5.55: Have you ever seen anything like it? Even the most ardent Fulham fan wouldn't have thought this day would come ... Juventus, the Old Lady of Italian football come trotting out at Craven Cottage.
