Hodgson happy with Villa victory

Manager Roy Hodgson claimed Fulham`s 3-1 win against Aston Villa was one of their best of an impressive season. Captain Danny Murphy gave the Cottagers the lead from the penalty spot in the seventh minute after Diomansy Kamara had been fouled by James Milner. Ashley Young levelled for Villa seven minutes later but Kamara fired the home side back in front at the start of the second half and completed the scoring with a cheeky backheel on the hour. Hodgson said: "Apart from the three goals, we created other chances. It was one of our best performances of the season. The quality of our passing and movement was good. "Our defending got better but they are not an easy team to defend against because they have two wingers. We played with tactical discipline and it was nice to get a good result and performance after last week's defeat to Chelsea. "We didn't do ourselves real credit against Chelsea and it was strong of the boys to bounce back against another strong team."
