GO HERE TO START TO SEE THE LATEST Top CATEGORY TABLE, FEATURES AND RESULTS But, Craig Gardner, who had admitted the spot-kick, dragged the Black Cats back to it when he also converted a penalty prior to the split, and Sessegnon prevented his side from falling to a fourth successive Barclays Premier League defeat when he shot house or apartment with 20 minutes remaining. Both sides may have won it in a frenetic summary with Adam Johnson furious not to be granted a third fee of the evening when his chance appeared to strike substitute Emmanuel Frimpong's supply, however they had to produce do with a point apiece. Martin Jol, whose Fulham part came on Wearside three things better off than their hosts, could be forgiven for thinking they must have now been making with a success, but the Black Cats were just about value for their sketch after having a woeful statistic to the game. Sunderland desperately needed a win after getting just one point from their last four games, but for more than half an hour or so, they appeared painfully incompetent at reaching it. They found themselves in deep trouble by the full time 35 minutes had elapsed and worryingly for manager Martin O'Neill, Fulham barely had to break sweat to maintain their advantage. They took the lead with 16 minutes gone when Gardner, to his astonishment and that of the locals, was adjudged to have tripped Ashkan Dejagah inside the box with referee Mark Halsey taking an to point to the spot. Berbatov's delivery from 12 meters was little lacking outrageous as he stuttered up to the ball before side-footing it to the left of keeper Simon Mignolet, who was rooted to the area as he attemptedto second-guess the Bulgarian. It may have now been worse for the Black Cats seven minutes later when Dejagah got in on the left, and then fire across goal, nevertheless the respite was temporary. The ball is passed by calm head: Berbatov into the net His strike is celebrated by spot on: Berbatov with staff lover Steve Sidwell (right) Johnson's 35th-minute part was cleared by, of individuals, Berbatov and while the home part rested, Fulham broke at speed and in numbers before Mignolet could only parry Dejagah's shot from the limited position to Riether, who gleefully tapped home. Sunderland, who'd gone near through John O'Shea's second-minute header, were in complete disarray, but were given an easy method back to the overall game within two minutes. Key defender Philippe Senderos literally got to grips with striker Danny Graham as the match challenged for a ball outrageous and Mr Halsey awarded a second charge to equal surprise. Where Berbatov had opted for guile, Gardner decided capacity to break a rising shot - his side's first on target - past Mark Schwarzer to offer them hope. The home side were instantly rejuvenated while they set about the task of restoring equality, and Sessegnon may have levelled with one minute of the first half remaining when he unleashed a shot which Schwarzer included round the post. Close range: Sasha Riether scores Fulham's next Back in it: Sunderland's Craig Gardner, left, scores a kick past Fulham's goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer O'Neill's guys headed for the dressing room at least having taken the edge off the manager's half-time team-talk, but knowing they needed seriously to improve considerably if they were to show the overall game around. They might have already been straight back on level terms within two minutes of the restart when Steven Fletcher and Graham mixed for the fist time of note in the game, nevertheless the former Swansea frontman grazed his photo tamely at Schwarzer. Berbatov blasted wide and large from range after finding room on the best with 49 minutes gone, however the guests continued to create the more threat with Berbatov in imperious kind. Alfred N'Diaye went close twice within a moment, shooting just too high from distance and then going above Schwarzer's crossbar, nevertheless the Black Cats were needs to create problems on a sustained basis. The overall game would have successfully been over had Mignolet not raced from his point to block Berbatov's energy after Bryan Ruiz had played him in with a lofted move, and the save yourself demonstrated critical within minutes when Sessegnon drilled home from 15 yards after the ball broke invitingly for him. Fletcher was inches from getting a effect to Gardner's influenced 75th-minute mix, but Berbatov passed up a marvelous possibility to gain it moments later when he shot weakly at Mignolet. Brown was convinced Frimpong had treated his 79th-minute drive and it took a point-blank block by Brede Hangeland to reject Fletcher a headed champion, but Sunderland were eventually able to end their destructive losing function. No way: Stephane Sessegnon of Sunderland finds his course towards purpose plugged Perhaps not this time: Sundreland owner Simon Mignolet preserves an attempt from Berbatov
