Fulham boss Roy Hodgson was once again proud of his side after they managed to hold in-form Liverpool to a scoreless draw at Anfield.

The Reds were coming off a brilliant performance in the Europa League midweek where they downed Portuguese club Benfica 4-1 but the Cottagers were able to snuff out any chances and record a draw that kept them in 12th position on the league table, prompting praise from Hodgson.

"There is no doubt Liverpool dominated the game and we were forced on to the back foot but at the same time we stood our corner very well and fought very hard," he said.

"We stopped them getting clear-cut chances and it was really when we just lost (Daniel) Agger for a corner at the end that I was concerned the ball was going to go in the back of the net."

Hodgson also lauded the defensive performance of his side, in particular Australian goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer who was able to keep another clean sheet.

"On the occasions when they got good strikes in Mark Schwarzer was equal to it. It is another excellent clean sheet," he added.

"I have got to be very satisfied with what the team has done because Liverpool are a very difficult team to take points off home or away."
