Hammers slump as Dempsey returns to haunt Green

West Ham sank to the foot of the Barclays Premier League table despite battling back from Clint Dempsey's goal to salvage a 1-1 draw in the London derby against Fulham. Dempsey, who humiliated Robert Green when playing for the USA at the World Cup, beat the England stopper from 12 yards with a volley after 32 minutes as Fulham ended a bruising first-half 1-0 up. But any hopes of a first league away win in 13 months were dashed by Frederic Piquionne, who leapt unmarked in the box to nod past Mark Schwarzer.
