Martin Jol happy with "scrappy" Fulham win

Fulham manager Martin Jol has admitted that his side had to dig deep to beat Sunderland in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Cottagers earned a 1-0 win at the Stadium of Light on the opening day of the new season thanks to Pajtim Kasami's goal.

"I think it was a perfect away result but not a perfect performance," Jol told BBC Sport. "We had to grind out the result. It was a very scrappy game for us."

Fulham continue their campaign at home to Arsenal on Saturday.
