Hodgson - We were on the hook

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has denied his side were complacent in the 3-2 Carling Cup second-round win over League One side Leicester.

The Cottagers were forced to come back from 2-1 down despite taking the lead through Zoltan Gera and had Jimmy Bullard and Danny Murphy to thank after the pair came up with late goals.

Hodgson said: "We know we've got ourselves off the hook but we were not guilty of complacency.

"It's just that we seemed to lose all our rhythm against a team which scored two quick goals and kept coming with their tails up.

"Happily, we refound our rhythm and got two wonderful goals from Jimmy and Danny."
