Fulham boss Scott Parker was delighted after victory over Sheffield United.

The Cottagers remain 18th but have cut a 10-point gap to Newcastle in 17th to just three points inside a week.

Parker's side dominated for long periods but it took them until just after the hour mark to break the deadlock.

Joachim Andersen's raking pass was superbly collected by Ademola Lookman, who profited from weak defending by Ethan Ampadu to cut inside and drill a shot through the legs of Blades goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Parker said, "We set a challenge to the boys tonight to not get swallowed up. To worry about ourselves and put in a performance where we showed our quality. I think we did that. We showed our quality.

"Like all these games it took one moment to win the game and it came from Ademola [Lookman] and he found the net.

"I'm really proud of this team because it's a huge moment. Not just this game but this week. It's been massive.

"We all understand what we need to do. We need results more than performances but I felt like we got both tonight.

"We need to rest now, we've had a tough week. We'll get back to it on Monday ready to push again."
