Kelly confident first away win around corner for Fulham

Fulham defender Stephen Kelly has no doubts a first away win is just around the corner after their 0-0 draw with Newcastle United.

Mark Hughes' side defended resolutely, went forward intelligently on the break and were denied by an impressive individual display from home 'keeper Tim Krul.

"We had chances to win, and I do think we are getting closer - I don't think it's too far away," Kelly told fulhamfc.com. "We're certainly not negative in our approach away from the Cottage, we are creating opportunities and taking the game to teams.

"Mousa struck the bar, while Zolly and Clint both forced decent saves from their goalkeeper. Dickson also went close with a header, while Brede also got on the end of a few set-pieces. We're certainly not sitting back and inviting teams to make the move.

"I think it was a very well organised performance from us and we never really let them play. They did have chances of their own, but that is to be expected when you play away from home."
