Check out video highlights. Dempsey reps the USA like no other in the EPL. Even after a 3-0 first half in Stoke’s favor (Stoke City played brilliantly), Dempsey had Fulham fans thinking that a tie was in the works. Dempsey is pure heart.

Bobby Zamora is out with a dislocated collarbone which presents a whole new set of problems for Fulham. Hopefully they can find some balance in the striker’s absence.
