Crystal Palace boss Hodgson: Still tough tests ahead

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says it's no time to relax despite victory over Fulham.

Although Hodgson said he was "satisfied" with the result, he acknowledged there were more nervous games ahead in the Eagles' fight for survival.

"It was a very important three points but it won't be the first of these games," Hodgson said.

"There will be other big games and there is a lot of anxiety around the club - you feel it around the ground with the fans and the players.

"If we had maybe taken a few chances in previous games then we perhaps might not be in this position but we are and that's where we will stay for a while.

"Games like today are very satisfying, they are hard fought and not given to you so when the final whistle blows everyone should be happy with it."
