In the first competition following the rebrand from UEFA Cup to UEFA Europa League, English club Fulham made it all the way to the 2009/10 Final, their first European final in club history. On their way there, they clashed with a European powerhouse in the Round of 16. Three first half goals consigned Fulham to defeat in the first leg away.
