Ipswich Town earned their first point after returning to the Premier League, but could not force a win over Fulham in a scrappy encounter at Portman Road.
Liam Delap's fine shot in the 15th minute gave the hosts the lead for the forward's first goal since his summer transfer from Manchester City.
But the impressive Adama Traore levelled for Fulham when he drilled in a low strike before half-time.
Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno made several important saves after the break to deny Ipswich their first win in the top flight since April 2002.
Leno's fingertips took a deflected Delap shot away from the target, and he dived at the feet of Chiedozie Ogbene before blocking substitute Omari Hutchinson's effort deep into injury time.
Ipswich finished strongly to claim a gritty draw following a tough start to the season, which saw them lose at home to Liverpool and then away to champions Manchester City.
The result lifted Kieran McKenna's side out of the bottom three, while Fulham lay in 11th place on four points from three games.
