Sidwell "speechless" as Fulham earn Manchester United draw

Fulham captain Steve Sidwell says that he is "speechless" over today's 2-2 draw away at Manchester United.

Fulham captain Steve Sidwell has admitted that he has been rendered "speechless" following today's 2-2 draw away at Manchester United.

The 31-year-old drew first blood for the Cottagers in the 19th minute, but the Red Devils scored two goals in quick succession with just over 10 minutes to go, courtesy of Robin van Persie and Michael Carrick.

However, Darren Bent's stoppage-time header ensured that the West London outfit would not go home empty-handed.

"It's a massive point, I'm speechless really," Sidwell told reporters after the game. "We put a lot of effort in and rode our luck but came away with a point.

"It was hard. It's never easy coming here so hopefully we can kick on now for the rest of the season.

"We had chances to put it to bed in the first half and I thought we deserved a point."

The Cottagers remain at the foot of the Premier League table, four points from safety.
