Fulham hero Dempsey insists: We can win Europa League after Juve scalp

Put your shirt on me: Dempsey celebrates his winner Clint Dempsey believes Fulham have what it takes to go all the way in the Europa League after Thursday night's shock hammering of Juventus. The Cottagers, who were 3-1 down from the first leg, produced a stunningcomeback at Craven Cottage to beat the Serie A giants 4-1 and seal a 5-4 aggregate win. The reward for Roy Hodgson's men is a mouth-watering quarter final against German side Wolfsburg, who beat Rubin Kazan to qualify for the last eight. The victory heralded the latest chapter in an incredible season forFulham and the win was all the more remarkable given that they went behind to a David Trezeguet goal inside two minutes. Dempsey's clever chip sealed Fulham's passage to the quarter finals and he firmly believes getting to the final in Hamburg is a distinct possibility. 'Can we go all the way? Why not? If you work hard and you believe, there's always a chance. And I believe,' said the USA forward. 'We're a team that has a lot of character and that has a lot of heart. Everybody thought it was over when we went 1-0 down but the character and the heart of the guys began to show, we fought back and to get the result we did was incredible.'
