Fulham boss hails Zamora

Hodgson heaped praise on Zamora, despite a miss by the striker that the manager described as ‘horrific’.

Zamora managed to spoon the ball over the bar from just six yards.

Hodgson said: “It was an horrific miss and it was a pity because he played so well.

“Unfortunately people who watch on the TV will see the miss and they won’t see the 96 minutes and 45 seconds in which he was absolutely magnificent.

“Really it should have been seen as the crowning moment of a great performance but instead it is going to be seen as a glaring miss and a blot on his copybook which is sad for him.

“But if you want a good example of the character and resilience of this team and its ability to bounce back, Bobby’s performance in the last 30 minutes shows that.”
