53'
The visitors work possession from the set-piece in their own half, and once they do get forward, Lambert's across is headed wide by Davis.
52'
Riise bodychecks Ramirez as Southampton try to start a breakaway.
51'
Great play by the sub Ruiz leads to a through pass for Riether on the right-hand overlap, until Yoshida again comes to the rescue with a good slide challenge.
50'
Long diagonal ball from Ramirez appears to pick out Lambert superbly, but the striker's attempt to bring it down for a shot is heavy. Goal kick.
48'
We are also back up and running across the Premier League board - ALL live goals and major incidents brought to you here:
47'
Puncheon comes close to getting Saints back on level terms with a decent low shot just inside the box, which goes narrowly wide of the far post.

And there's the whistle. Fulham 1-0 up at the break through Dimitar Berbatov. Do you think they'll hold on or can Saints fight back? Let us know via Twitter at @eurosportcom_en and @liamhappe
45+1'
Kacaniklic fires over from outside the box in our only minute of time added on in this half.
45'
Free-kick Fulham in the middle of the park could start their last chance at doubling their lead, but the short-take approach eventually leads to Saints getting the ball and winning a free-kick.
44'
Fulham have just about been good value for their lead thus far but have certainly rode their luck from time to time on the slippery Cottage pitch.
43'
The briefest of dialogues with his touchline training staff but the forward is ok to continue without any prolonged interval.
42'
Rodallega lands worst after an aerial collision with Yoshida. May have hurt his shoulder.
41'
Shaw makes progress down the wing but his early cross attempt is blocked by Baird.
40'
Steven Davis with a great sliding interception to snuff out a Fulham attack on the left.
38'

Riise now makes an error inside his own final third allowing Saints to capitalise. Ramirez eventually has a chance at goal closed down. The left-back thinks he's let the ball run out for a goal kick but in fact Cork keeps it in behind his back and puts in a centre. Strange stuff.
37'
Baird stretches out to clear a Ramirez cross from the right.
36'
It goes back to Schwarzer again, and AGAIN he hashes his kick-out forcing Riise to go in meatily on Ramirez to get the ball safe.
35'
Woefully short goal kick from Schwarzer in terrible conditions is salvaged by Sidwell who calmly heads it to a team-mate before it can be pounced upon.
34'
Davis does well to catch Riise's deflected cross before it can go out for a corner.
