FULHAM 2 HULL CITY 0:BOBBY ZAMORA inspired Fulham to a triumph last night as Jimmy Bullard endured a torrid return to Craven Cottage. Zamora struck his second league goal of the season before setting up Diomansy Kamara as Fulham climbed to 12th in the table.

Bullard’s arrival from the bench in the 58th minute failed to spark a revival, the record €5.5 million signing instead having to contend with a hostile reception from the fans who once idolised him. The midfielder was making only his second appearance for Hull after suffering a serious knee injury on his debut last January.

FULHAM:Schwarzer, Pantsil, Hughes, Hangeland, Konchesky, Duff (Gera 84), Murphy (Greening 60), Baird, Dempsey, Zamora, Kamara (Nevland 87). Subs not used: Zuberbuhler, Kelly, Riise, Smalling. Booked: Konchesky.

HULL:Myhill, McShane, Sonko, Kilbane, Dawson, Zayatte, Ghilas (Bullard 58), Marney, Geovanni, Hunt (Altidore 69), Vennegoor of Hesselink (Mendy 80). Subs not used: Warner, Halmosi, Mouyokolo, Olofinjana. Booked: Dawson.
