Fulham manager Roy Hodgson was delighted with the way his side held out in the face of a late onslaught after a 1-0 win at Newcastle. Diomansy Kamara struck in the 41st minute to lift Fulham up to seventh where they occupy the final Europa League place, but Newcastle were unlucky to have Mark Viduka's 50th-minute strike ruled out by referee Howard Webb for a foul on goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer by Kevin Nolan. Hodgson said: "We came here to some extent as sacrificial lambs. "It was a great win here. I feel sorry for Newcastle - they deserved better, we rode our luck on several occasions. "We are thankful for a very good performance from our back four and goalkeeper."
