// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Fulham manager Roy Hodgson is 'preaching modesty and humility' following Saturday's victory over Liverpool at Craven Cottage.[LNB] Erik Nevland and Clint Dempsey secured the win for the Cottagers after Bobby Zamora's opener had been cancelled out by Fernando Torres.[LNB]Liverpool's demise on the banks of The Thames has grabbed the headlines, with the Reds suffering their sixth defeat in seven games in all competitions.[LNB]Hodgson, though, does not want Fulham to get carried away with the success over one of the perceived heavyweights in the Premier League.[LNB]He said: "We still have got a lot of work to do. I am preaching modesty and humility. [LNB]"To be in the Premier League and to be playing Liverpool and Manchester United and Chelsea is a wonderful achievement for Fulham.[LNB]Feet on ground"It is important to keep our feet on the ground and we will have to because this year European competition is a huge stretch on our resources."[LNB]Liverpool, who had Philipp Degen and Jamie Carragher sent off in the closing stages, dominated possession and Hodgson confesses that he feared for his side's chances.[LNB]However, Fulham survived and have now found some consistency following a run of games without defeat, much to their manager's delight.[LNB]Hodgson said: "We had to work hard to keep them at bay. They had more possession than us and at one stage I couldn't see us holding out.[LNB]"But we got closer to them in the second half. We started to create chances and took some of them. We're getting better as a team."[LNB]Asked if he had offered any sympathy to opposite number Rafa Benitez, who is under intense pressure ahead of a UEFA Champions League trip to Lyon, Hodgson said: "I would regard that as patronage. I just wished him luck for Wednesday."[LNB]
