Fulham boss Roy Hodgson says this season's campaign is as good as anything he's achieved in his managerial career.

"With five matches left to play last season we had 24 points which is incredible when you think at the same stage this season we had 44," he said.

"This stands right up there with other good jobs I think I've done.

"I thought I did a good job at Inter. I can't prove that with trophies but it wasn't an easy time and I can be proud with what I did there.

"Here I feel the same degree of pride but maybe here I can prove statistically that I've done a good job. I'm proud of it and hope we can keep it going.

"Nothing could happen between now and the end of the season to change my opinion that this has been a very good season for the club.

"We can hold our heads high at the end of the season."
