Saturday lunchtime saw Fulham and Charlton Athletic play out a tighly fought match at Craven Cottage as the two sides shared the spoils.

Scott Parker's side will have come into the contest full of confidence after winning their previous two matches against Wigan and Reading, but the Addicks proved far tougher opposition.

But the Whites were forced to come from behind twice against Lee Bowyer's men, with Ivan Cavaleiro and Aleksandar Mitrovic cancelling out goals from Conor Gallagher and Macauley Bonne.

The 2-2 draw saw the South Londoners slip out of the play-off places and down into seventh place as we enter the international break.

So, looking back at the clash, here are THREE things we learnt about the side...

Resilient

It may have been a match the fans wanted to see won, but they at least saw their team exhibit a valuable trait.

Only once before this season, against Cardiff, have they successfully come from behind to get something from a match, so to do that twice in one game will have pleased Parker no end.

In the future, they will want to start killing of contests with a bit more efficiency, but for now this is something to be pleased about.

Versatility needed

During the clash with Charlton, it was noticeable that the Addicks won the midfield battle, with the likes of Williams, Pratley, Gallagher and Cullen outnumbering Arter, Cairney and Johansen.

They stifled the Whites' play and it made it very hard for the deadly front-three to get involved and work their magic throughout.

In the future, Parker will need to figure out a different way to play. They will face far more stubborn opposition than Charlton as well.

Strength in depth

Once again, Fulham's strength in attacking depth saw them rescue a point from the clash.

Cavaleiro and Mitrovic both found the back of the net but with Bobby Decordova-Reid coming off the bench to provide an assist, it showed that they will always have a chance of getting back into a game.

No other club in the division can boast as much proven attacking talent and it is encouraging to see Parker utilising it as much as possible.
