Cross border equity tie-ups between financial firms have enjoyed mixed success to put it mildly (think HSBC and Household Finance in the 2000s, or Deutsche Bank and Morgan Grenfell in the 1990s).
After a lull in the tempo of the match, Hodgson introduced Dempsey from the bench in place of Stephen Kelly and with practically his first touch - a header from a Davies cross - he would have put Fulham ahead overall for the first time in the tie but for Chimenti's save.
However, the home side were back in the tie within seconds of the restart when Graham broke down the right, his cross found Antoine-Curier at the back post and the powerful header flew past Pernis.
