Fulham boss Hughes impressed by Eddie Johnson impact

Fulham boss Mark Hughes was happy with Eddie Johnson's impact in their 0-0 draw with Everton.

Johnson has been a peripheral figure at Craven Cottage since his arrival from Kansas City two years ago.

The second-half cameo from Diomansy Kamara was also pleasing with the Senegal striker making his first appearance for the club since January.

"We brought on Eddie Johnson and that made a difference in terms of asking more questions of the back four," said Hughes. "He lengthened the game and was a threat in behind which we didn't have before and as a consequence we were better in the second half.

"We missed the threat of Zamora and Dembele, but that's how it will be over the next few weeks.

"Guys have to come in and make an impact and Kamara will benefit from his run-out."
