Fulham boss Roy Hodgson was delighted with the performance of Bobby Zamora after their 3-0 thumping of Manchester United.
Danny Murphy, Zamora and Damien Duff all struck for the Cottagers.
"Last year Bobby played well and was a large part in our success but the goals eluded him. This year they haven't," said Hodgson.
"We're delighted with him. Bobby has never stopped working, even when he needed a goal.
"I'm getting the best of both worlds now and that's raising his status as a player in the country.
"Everyone is taking notice and recognising the things he can do on the pitch."
