Dickson Etuhu praised the manner of Sunday's win as the Whites moved up to 10th place in the Barclays Premier League table.
The 28-year-old scored Fulham's third in an impressive 3-0 win, with Bobby Zamora starting his first game since early September and scoring two first-half goals.
Before kick-off just two points separated Mark Hughes' side and travelling Blackpool.
"This was a massive win for us, make no mistake about that," Etuhu told fulhamfc.com. “Going into the game there wasn't much between the two teams, but we've come away and opened up a bit of a gap.
"From start to finish we played very well. We knew that they were a good side and one that plays a lot of attacking football. We had a plan and it worked for us - we closed them down quickly, exploited the gaps and took our chances.
“It was good to see Bobby back and doing what he does best, he was fantastic today - he's unplayable when he's like that. Those goals will have done him the world of good.”
It was an impressive afternoon for the Nigeria international, but despite capping a positive performance with his third goal of the season he was quick to share the plaudits.
“Football is a team game, and this was very much a team win today,” he said. “We defended as one and went forward as one. That's what we do.
“While it's nice to get on the score sheet, as I have said before, I'm not in the team to score goals. The boys did give me a bit of stick though - they reckon Blackpool is the only team that I score against.”
The win pushed Fulham back up into the top 10 - a position Etuhu has long targeted.
“I've said for a while now that we have to have ambitions of getting ourselves into the top 10,” he said. “Today's win has done much for that, but at the same time it's still very tight and we still have some big teams to play.
“But you can only take one game at a time and we're confident that we can end the season strongly. We've got a strong squad and for me, we're building something very special - and long may that continue.”
