Pogrebnyak scores against Stoke on his Fulham debut

Russia international striker Pavel Pogrebnyak has drawn plaudits by netting in his first appearance for London club Fulham.

The former Stuttgart striker needed just 18 minutes to open his goal-scoring record for the Premier League outfit.

The Cottagers newboy accidentally blocked team-mate John Arne Riise’s shot inside the Stoke area, but then set himself up with his first touch and lashed an unstoppable shot past Thomas Sorensen with his second.
