Fulham defender Sascha Riether has claimed that the team is feeling confident following their opening day win at Sunderland in the Premier League.

Pajtim Kasami scored the only goal of the game at the Stadium of Light as the Cottagers came away with a 1-0 victory on Saturday.

"It was a good start to the season for us," Riether told the club's official website. "It was a long pre-season, everyone has been waiting for months for it to start, but now that we have a win under our belts the confidence is good."

Fulham continue their campaign on Saturday when they welcome Arsenal to Craven Cottage.
