Fulham boss Jol hails AJ after QPR thrashing

Fulham boss Martin Jol hailed hat-trick hero Andy Johnson after their thrashing of QPR.

Johnson was the standout player just days after netting twice in Fulham's 2-0 Europa League victory over Odense BK.

While Jol was quick to praise the frontman, the Dutchman was impressed with the team effort.

"I'm very happy for him and for us as well," he said.

"He scored the goals in Europe, did it in the Premier League but it doesn't matter who scores the goals, we need the results.

"I felt that maybe today we scored too many but on other days we didn't get the goals we needed.

"I felt like we did the same [today] as we have done before. We just couldn't put the ball in the net. It's not about blaming the strikers, it's a normal conclusion."
