Fulham boss Mark Hughes was delighted to see Andy Johnson on the scoresheet in their 1-1 draw with Wigan Athletic.
Substitute Johnson made it 1-1 with four minutes of normal time remaining, collecting Clint Dempsey's pass and unleashing a shot that hit Gary Caldwell on its way towards goal, leaving Ali Al Habsi unable to stop it going in.
"That will do him the world of good," Hughes said.
"All he has been missing in recent weeks in terms of performances is goals.
"Now he is off and running, I'm confident that he will kick on and score goals for us from now until the end of the season.
"Strikers need goals, that is what settles them down. That is all that has been missing - you see the energy that he gives the team and his willingness to work hard, chasing lost causes. That is going to be important for us."
