Fulham beats Bolton 3-0 in Premier League

Clint Dempsey scored twice as Fulham ended Bolton's recent revival with a 3-0 victory at the Reebok Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.

The American striker opened the scoring with a superb 30-yard freekick in the 25th minute and headed a second in the 45th to extend the London side's advantage. Dempsey's double took him to 15 Premier League goals this season, surpassing Louis Saha's club record of 13 set in 2004.

Mahamadou Diarra wrapped up the points when he added a third from close range late in the second half.

Bolton, which was chasing a fourth successive win in their battle against relegation, rarely threatened Mark Schwarzer's goal in the first half.
