Cottagers ace relieved at away success

Aaron Hughes was pleased to see Fulham get the away win monkey off their backs early in the season at Wigan on Saturday.

The Cottagers have earned a reputation for being strong at home and poor on the road, and their first three away trips this season brought defeats at Manchester United, Sheffield Wednesday and West Ham.
But they picked up three points at one of their most successful away grounds, the DW Stadium, with Hugo Rodallega and Damien Duff scoring in a 2-1 victory.
Defender Hughes said: "It's something that a lot people remind us of quite a bit that our away form is not great but I think if you look at it closely, we've had a lot of draws away from home, so we maybe haven't won as many as we should but I certainly don't think we've lost any more compared to any other team.
"To come here five games in and get an away win is good for us and we're pleased with it. Our home form had always been good and we want to keep that."
