Analysis: Victory the perfect tonic for the Cottagers

From the minute Ryan Sessegnon capitalised on a Wolves mistake to score, there was little doubt in the result.

Fulham needed a pick-me-up after four straight defeats sucked them towards the bottom three and Wolves obliged.

The result did not flatter the Cottagers - it could have been more - and it was precisely the performance which will restore any fractured confidence.

Games against Everton and Sunderland either side of the international break could provide further momentum, as Marco Silva's side look to pull away from any immediate danger.

Fulham should have enough to stay clear of the bottom three - they were dynamic enough against a poor Wolves side - but there will be little room for manoeuvre if they slip back to their previous form.
