A lot of Fulham fans have flocked to a post from their club, remembering the goal Clint Dempsey scored on the night they beat Juventus 4-1 in the Europa League.
On the 18th of March 2010, Fulham played the Old Lady in a tie to decide who made the quarter-finals.
The Cottagers trailed 3-1 from the first leg, and within two minutes of the second leg, starting David Trezeguet had scored an away goal that looked to have put the tie out of Fulham’s reach.
However, Bobby Zamora pulled one back, and then Fabio Cannavaro received a straight red card for a professional foul on Zoltan Gera.
Is this one of your favourite Fulham memories?
Yes
No
Gera then scored two goals to level the tie and that set up Dempsey to provide this moment.
The American received the ball on the edge of the area (0:03) and turned to face goal – he then floated a delicate chip from the corner of the box that landed perfectly in the top corner. (0:05)
Reliving this moment has delighted these Fulham fans.
The moment time stood still at Craven Cottage! ?

What do we think?
In our opinion, this was a goal worthy of winning any game, and Fulham would go all the way to the Europa League final, where Atletico Madrid beat them.
However, despite this, no one can ever take this night away from the Cottagers.
