Fulham 2 Blackburn 2:  Stephen Warnock rescued a point for Blackburn with a late equaliser that keeps the pressure on Fulham boss Lawrie Sanchez

A dismal first half was quickly forgotten after the interval as the rivals produced a pulsating 45 minutes that accounted for all four goals.

Danny Murphy fired Fulham into the lead from the spot - Ryan Nelsen was at fault for the penalty - but Emerton responded in emphatic fashion.

A well-worked move saw Diomansy Kamara nudge the Cottagers ahead for a second time but once again Sanchez's side were undone by their slack defending.

The impressive Warnock was the beneficiary this time, grabbing a share of the spoils with a routine strike 12 minutes from time.

Fulham will complain about the offside in the build-up to Emerton's goal but Sanchez's time would be better spent addressing his side's defensive frailties.

Once again they crumbled late on and Sanchez needs to start turning the club's flurry of draws into wins if he is to silence speculation over his future.
