Fulham boss Roy Hodgson admits Bobby Zamora's goal against West Brom has lifted some pressure off his own shoulders.

"It was quite interesting that after he scored he had two more great strikes, one of which led to the second goal. It's pretty obvious a weight has been lifted from his mind," said Hodgson.

"As for me, I suppose I enjoy a sense of relief too - because I always believed in Zamora and (Andy) Johnson and I brought them both to the club."
