West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson thanked Liverpool fans for their reception ahead of the shock win at Anfield.

In the build-up to the game Hodgson had said he thought he would be given a difficult time by the Anfield crowd, who never took to him during his short spell in charge, but there was no such response.

"I was very pleased by the reception and I thank the Liverpool fans for that. It was very courteous of them," he said.

"I would have been disappointed had it been otherwise as I have a lot of respect for Liverpool fans but it was nice they showed that courtesy to me and I appreciate it."
