Roy Hodgson is concerned Fulham's premature victory celebrations at Craven Cottage last Saturday may yet come back to haunt them.

Hodgson joined chairman Mohamed Al Fayed and the team on a lap of honour following a critical 2-0 over Birmingham that has left them on the brink of an astonishing escape act.

Delirious fans chanted "we are staying up, we are staying up" as some players took their children onto the pitch to experience the carnival atmosphere.

But defeat by Portsmouth at Fratton Park on Sunday could yet result in relegation and Hodgson believes last weekend's scenes have increased the pressure on his players.

"The reception we got from our fans after we beat Birmingham was fantastic," he said.

"If anything it worried me because I don't think we deserved it. I thought it was magnificent of the fans to stay behind and give us that reception to make us feel good.

"But we can still slip into the Championship and there's still a big risk of that happening."
