At half time Fulham led through a 16 year old and with 70% posession and 5 efforts on goal to City's zero the home side would have been thinking an easy win was on the cards.
But despite such a dreadful showing from the visitors the game was turned upside down on the hour when Kadeem Harris came off the bench, Joe Ralls screamed one in from 25 - 30 yards and Anthony Pilkington curled an effort into the top corner to give City the lead.
The Bluebirds were in the ascendancy and should have put the game to bed but Peter Whittingham's 69th minute free kick crashed off the bar and was smothered by the Fulham keeper.

Then it was a case of City having to hold onto a lead and like too many times before they could not manage the feat.
In the 86th minute Kevin McDonald brought the game level and City managed to hold on for the point.
