Martin Jol is thankful for a "much-needed win" after Fulham triumphed over Liverpool at Craven Cottage last night.
Clint Dempsey scored the only game of the match five minutes from time after a blunder from Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina.
The goal came after Liverpool midfielder Jay Spearing was sent off for a strong challenge on Moussa Dembele.
"I thought it was a bad tackle," Jol said.
"You might have got away with it in the days when I was playing in England, but I think it was a sending off.
"It gave us a bit more space and we took advantage. It was a much-needed win."
Goal scorer Dempsey said that the red card proved to be a turning point in the game.
"It gave us more pace and time on the ball, opened them up a little bit and allowed us to start creating more chances," the American said.
Fulham are currently 13th in the Premier League with 15 points from 14 games.
