Fulham 2 Cheltenham 1

French striker Louis Saha underlined his value to Fulham again as his two-goal salvo sent Chris Coleman's men into the fourth round of the FA Cup.

The 25-year-old showed his clinical touch to beat Shane Higgs with a cheeky 14th-minute lob which left the advancing keeper stranded, cancelling out a superb opener from Grant McCann shortly before.

And just as it seemed Cheltenham had done enough to secure a replay at Whaddon Road, Saha popped up in injury time to secure victory for the Premiership club.
