Fulham ensured their place in the draw for the Play-Off stage of the UEFA Europa League with a 2-0 win over RNK Split on Thursday evening.
Striker Andrew Johnson was in inspired form, netted Fulham’s opening goal in the first-half then winning a penalty after the interval, which Danny Murphy converted.
Speaking after the match, Manager Martin Jol was pleased to see Johnson back to his best.
"Sharp and in good form - that is the way I always saw him when I was working in England," said the Fulham Manager.
"He is a very good player, lively and he can play the ball too.
"He can also do something in an individual way like he did with the penalty kick so I can't ask for more. If he stays fit then he is a great player for us."
The Barclays Premier League season kicks-off next weekend and with Fulham’s pre-season consisting almost entirely of UEFA Europa League qualification matches, Jol assessed the pre-season period.
"We have played six games now,” he said. "Maybe you would prefer to play eight or nine games in the pre-season as some other players didn't play a lot so that is probably a disadvantage, but I am satisfied with the results because we got through to the next round.
"But I cannot be satisfied with the preparation because we only played on a Thursday and you can't just focus on these matches the whole time. You have to work on conditioning as well so it's not easy."
