Hodgson Delighted But Not Complacent After Chelsea Scalp

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson was delighted his side managed a strong 2-0 win over Chelsea at Anfield on Sunday. But the former Fulham manager was remaining realistic after Fernando Torres fired the Reds to their best win in a long while. "I pleased with the performance and I'm pleased Fernando will get the plaudits because he's taken his fair share of criticism, some of which has been grossly exaggerated and certainly not fully deserved," said the Reds boss. "When the team is not winning it is hard to defend those things but today people will say he is back to best and let's hope that is the case. "One always hopes that playing at this level in the Premier League you have that quality of front player. "Chelsea have had a lot of success with their front players and Liverpool have had a lot of success with Fernando. "It is nice now we are maybe getting back to that."
