Pantsil has Euro vision as Fulham keep on climbing

John Pantsil and his Fulham team-mates will spend the next week dreaming of European football. Diomansy Kamara's fourth goal of the season sealed a deserved 1-0 win at relegation-threatened Newcastle to put Roy Hodgson's men on the verge of a Europa League spot. A draw at home to Everton on Sunday should be enough to clinch seventh place ahead of Tottenham after Fulham racked up their highest Premier League points total - 53 - thanks to a third away win of the campaign at St James' Park. Defender Pantsil believes European qualification, for only the second time in the club's history, would be just reward for a season which has seen them emerge as the surprise packets of the Premier League. He told the Evening Standard: 'It's been a great season so far and qualifying for Europe at the end of it would cap it off brilliantly. 'It would be great for everyone at the club to do that. We all have an opportunity to play in Europe and that's something as a player you dream of doing. 'As a team, we've shown what we can do again because coming to a place like Newcastle United is not easy, especially in their situation when it was a must-win game for them and they had home advantage on their side.'
