Fulham finished with nine men as Roma came from a goal down to see off the Cottagers in their Europa League Group E clash at the Stadio Olimpico.

Diomansy Kamara (19) gave the visitors the lead when he sent Doni the wrong way from 12 yards after being tripped in the area by Marco Andreolli.

Roma defender Phillipe Mexes and Kamara missed headed chances while Daniele De Rossi was denied a penalty when his shot hit John Pantsil's arm.

But the Cottagers task became far tougher four mintues after the break when half-time sub Erik Nevland saw red for a reckless challenge on De Rossi.

Fulham withstood an onslaught for 20 minutes until John Arne Riise beat Mark Schwarzer with a drive by way of a deflection from brother Bjorn Helge.

Stefano Okaka Chuka headed in Rodrigo Taddei's cross on 76 to complete the comeback and a red card for Paul Konchesky compounded Fulham's misery.
