Fulham striker Diomansy Kamara took the plaudits from manager Roy Hodgson after scoring twice in the 3-1 win at home to Aston Villa.

The 28-year-old Senegal international was making his first start of the campaign after a long-term knee injury and made the lost of the opportunity.

Hodgson said:"We didn't get Diomansy back from the cruciate injury he sustained until February, so he has done exceptionally well to recover as quickly as he has.

"He sustained the injury in a World Cup qualifier last June and those injuries take a minimum of six months and often nine months.

"He has been used as a substitute since we got him back but this was his first start.

"He got his chance because Andrew Johnson is still not fit and Bobby Zamora was not fit enough to start the game. He took his chance with open arms.

"I thought his performance was very good and not just with his goals. He was a constant thorn in the side of the Aston Villa defence.

"He was a model of tactical discipline and the way he played tested the Aston Villa back-four to the limit."
