Fulham 1-0 Hull City: What Arbeloa and King said

"We were having the same feeling as other matches, when we were controlling the game for long spells and having good chances but didn't score. Our rivals punish our mistakes or take their chances, but today we were brilliant for 90 minutes. We controlled the game, had many chances and didn't concede any clear chances to Hull, a very good team. They are tough to beat. We need to keep going and keep improving.

"We have so many players with talent who can score. They will have chances. Players from the bench will be so important for us too. We have many chances, and we need to try and take them,

On Ryan Sessegnon's red card: "He was unlucky, he wanted to get the ball. I didn't see [the replay], maybe it was a clear red card. Everyone knows Ryan, he didn't want to do this challenge. It's unlikely for the Hull player; we are sorry for him."

On using this first win as a springboard: "It's a massive game for us, a massive week because we have Coventry, then Palace in seven days. It won't be easy, but we know how we need to play and compete, we have to be competitive in this league. We have our way and hope we can in many games."

"We played as a team who knew what we had to get, the three points. We worked so hard for each other from 0 to 90 minutes. That's where we have struggled before, getting the lead and keeping it.

"[Alex Iwobi] is a really special player and a joy to play with; for him to get the goal and help the team is massive.

"I think I would have liked to come away with something more for myself, like a goal or assist; they will come, but today was all about the team."

  • Fulham picked up their first Premier League victory of the season, leaving just Bournemouth and Spurs as the only sides without a win this term.

  • Alex Iwobi was the first Fulham player to have 5+ shots (5), create 3+ chances (3) and complete 50+ passes (57) in a Premier League match since Bryan Ruiz against Swansea in December 2012.
