Fulham boss Mark Hughes was delighted with victory at Sunderland.
The Cottagers were impressive for their 3-0 win.
Hughes said: "I wasn't too happy with the first-half performance. We were 1-0 to the good but we understood we needed to play better in the second half to ensure we took the game away from Sunderland.
"Thankfully we did and we saw the game out very comfortably. Obviously the second goal was key from our point of view and I never felt under pressure that we were going to lose the game.
"We haven't had that many wins on the road and sometimes you can be a little bit apprehensive and try to protect what you've got and that can lead to a problem but we didn't really demonstrate any tension in our second-half performance."
