Everton boss Moyes: I thought Zamora would win it for Fulham

Everton boss David Moyes admitted he thought they had lost when Fulham striker Bobby Zamora rounded Tim Howard late on yesterday.

Fulham thought they had grabbed a last-minute winner through Zamora after he latched on to Andrew Johnson's pass and rounded Howard, but somehow he managed to hit the bar.

Fulham were made to pay for their futility immediately afterwards as Louis Saha went straight up the other end and scored.

Asked about Zamora's effort, Moyes said: "At that moment in time I thought it was over and done with sort of thing.

"But that's football isn't it? You take your chances or you don't and it can be costly one way or the other.

"To win is always good, isn't it? We've been in a difficult period and it's always been a hard ground for us to get results.

"When Zamora went round the goalie it looked as if it was going to be the same again but we got a wee bit of good fortune and got a result."
