Hodgson satisfied as Fulham hold Bolton

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson was satisfied after their 1-1 draw with Bolton Wanderers.

A 75th minute equaliser from Republic of Ireland winger Damien Duff cancelled out a 34th minute opener from Bolton's Ivan Klasnic.

The draw kept Fulham in 10th place in the Barclays Premier League but Bolton are still entrenched in the bottom three.

"I thought we were unlucky to go in at half-time not winning because we had one chance cleared off the line," said Hodgson. "But I am full of praise for the players for the way they came out and attacked in the second half.

"We played some much better football after the break. But I must pay credit to Bolton for their resolute back four and their goalkeeper. They came up with the answers when we asked them.

"I would have liked to have won the game but it would have been a harsh pill to swallow had we lost.

"Bolton's goal was very good. Klasnic took it excellently. We had to work hard and play a lot of football to get the equaliser.

"But to play three matches inside a week is a tough ask so all credit to the players."
