Jol enjoying breathing space after ’unbelievably important’ Fulham win

Fulham 1 Stoke City 0

Having failed to win since the opening day of the season, the Dutchman’s position at the helm was looking fragile heading into the clash at Craven Cottage but on-loan Darren Bent repaid Jol’s faith with a late goal to secure victory.

“Relieved is probably not the word you use,” Jol said. “You need results and you need to be in a good position. “You need to be without pressure because any team under pressure won’t perform as good as they are capable of. You saw that again today.
