   • 2011 November 3, Arindam Rej, “Fulham 4 - 1 Wisla Krakow”, BBC Sport:

     Wisla made a bright start to the second half and Fulham keeper Mark Schwarzer was twice called into action, first saving Gervasio Nunezs deflected 20-yard effort and then smothering Gargulas free-kick.
     But Fulham soon had the cushion of a third goal after more outstanding build-up play.
