Fulham defender Joachim Andersen admits the players were thrilled with 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.
After the 1-0 win, Andersen said: "It was so important, it's been a really good week for us, seven points is massive and a big improvement. Finally some of the hard work we have been doing has paid off.
"It just needs to continue.
"This is a good signal to show the other teams that we are ready to fight. It was a must-win game, there was pressure but every game is big pressure becase we need points. We have to win as many games as possible."
