Heartbreak For Clinton

Clint Dempsey suffered heartbreak on Valentine's Day when his last-gasp penalty was saved in a stalemate between Fulham and Chelsea.

After a goalless 90 minutes at Craven Cottage, the American striker won a spot-kick deep into injury time after being felled by David Luiz as he was going away from goal.

But Chelsea shot-stopper Petr Cech saved well to his right before Dempsey put the rebound wide with a scissor kick as the Bluesearned a point in the West London derby.

However, it could be too little for their title hopes. Carlo Ancelotti's decision to drop Didier Drogba failed to pay off after another game to forget for new £50million Blues striker Fernando Torres.

Torres missed four chances either side of half-time as champions Chelsea failed to climb back into the Premier League top four.

Manager Ancelotti axed Drogba after he and Torres failed to ignite in the previous weekend's defeat to Liverpool.

They were almost caught out again in the opening six minutes by a low Damien Duff cross but Luiz - making his full debut - read the danger to beat Andy Johnson to the ball.

John Terry was thwarted by good pressure attempting to head Branislav Ivanovic's cross goalward, while there was also more than one blocked effort from the visitors.

Torres, though, was once more struggling to make an impact, with some of his mistakes greeted by chants of 'What a waste of money' from the Fulham fans.
