Fulham boss Kit Symons has praised his side for getting back to winning ways in the Championship with a 1-0 win at Leeds United.

The Cottagers were beaten 5-0 at Watford last weekend, but they picked up the three points on Saturday as Hugo Rodallega's goal separated the teams at Elland Road.

The result has pushed the London club up to 14th place in the table heading into a busy festive schedule.

"It was very important after getting battered 5-0 by Watford," Symons is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "It was important we tightened up, that was exactly what we did and we were excellent.

"Leeds have a fantastic home record, we knew it would be difficult. The Watford defeat hurt and I'm glad it did because what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

Fulham are back in action next Saturday when they welcome Sheffield Wednesday to Craven Cottage.
