The Cottagers were just moments from securing only a second away Premier League win of the season at Carrow Road before Simeon Jackson grabbed a dramatic late equaliser. Portugal striker Orlando Sa had fired Fulham into an early lead, and then had another effort cleared off the line before Clint Dempsey's header hit the bar. Despite looking so comfortable during the first half, ultimately Fulham paid for failing to get themselves a two-goal cushion as Norwich forced them to defend deeper and deeper as the match went on. Jol knows if Fulham, knocked out of the Europa League, are to progress over the second half of the season, they must make more of their opportunities. "We created three or four opportunities, but we only scored one. We should have scored probably more," said Jol, whose side host Arsenal in Monday's late afternoon kick-off. "That has maybe been a bit of our problem this season, we played some very good games, but even when we defended well, we could not score at the right times. That is what we have to do. But whatever happens, we will still play our football." Sa joined Fulham from Braga on a free transfer at the end August, but had failed to find the net in 10 appearances. However, the 23-year-old stretched Norwich at every opportunity, handed another chance to impress in the continued absence of injured strike duo Bobby Zamora and Andrew Johnson. Sa made a point of running to celebrate with the Fulham bench after his sixth-minute strike. And Jol hopes there will be more to come. "I have played him three times and he did not score. Hopefully Sa will be lifted now by his first goal, and he can become an important member of the squad," the Fulham boss said. "I have got great confidence in him." Fulham earned a creditable 1-1 draw at Arsenal in late November. The Gunners have turned their season around after a terrible start to move into the top four with yesterday's 1-0 home win over QPR. Much water may have passed under the bridge since Jol famously squared up to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in the dugout when the then Tottenham boss was battling for Champions League qualification. The Dutch coach, though, remains an admirer of the way Wenger goes about his business. "When I was in England five or six years ago, Arsenal were older, with more experience, then they started to build a new team," Jol said. "They are younger now, and it all needed a couple of years, but they still play great football."
