Former Fulham striker Louis Saha returned to haunt his old club with a late goal which inspired the Toffees to a dramatic 3-1 victory at Craven Cottage. The 33-year-old netted from an acute angle for Everton before Jack Rodwell scored in stoppage time to ensure they ended their three-match losing streak. Moyes, whose side welcome Manchester United next weekend, was philosophical after the victory in west London and hopes outsiders will be too. "I don't think we'll be thinking too far ahead," said the Everton manager. "If you look back to previous seasons, we've tended to get better as the season's gone on so I'm hoping that will be the case again. "What we needed to do from this period was find a win from somewhere. "We've had a really difficult last three games, with Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea, and we have got Manchester United next week. "Arguably three of those will realistically be up there at the top of the league and we had Liverpool in there as well. "Four of the last five games have been against the top of the top. "I was very surprised to hear [about Manchester United's 6-1 defeat at Old Trafford]. "Maybe people will give us more credit for the way we went to Man City and how we played instead of saying we were negative and we didn't do this and we didn't do that." The scoreline somewhat flattered Everton in what was an even contest, which almost swung in Fulham's favour at the death. Fulham thought they had grabbed a last-minute winner through Zamora after he latched on to Andrew Johnson's pass and rounded Tim Howard, but somehow he managed to hit the bar. Fulham were made to pay for their futility immediately afterwards as Saha went straight up the other end and scored. Asked about Zamora's effort, Moyes said: "At that moment in time I thought it was over and done with sort of thing. "But that's football isn't it? You take your chances or you don't and it can be costly one way or the other. "To win is always good, isn't it? We've been in a difficult period and it's always been a hard ground for us to get results. "When Zamora went round the goalie it looked as if it was going to be the same again but we got a wee bit of good fortune and got a result." While Moyes was relieved, Fulham manager Martin Jol was left bemoaning defensive lapses. Everton took a third-minute lead after Royston Drenthe hit an audacious shot but it looked liked Fulham had earned a share of the spoils thanks to substitute Bryan Ruiz's exquisite chip three minutes after coming on. However, Zamora's miss and late goals cost the home side dear in a match that Jol thought his side should have won. "There was a big contradiction between the first minute and the last," he said. "We had to change it in the second half after Drenthe, who has probably never played on the right before, scored a goal in the first couple of minutes. "We fought ourselves back into it and in the second half the equaliser from Bryan Ruiz should have been enough to win this game. "It is not about possession or playing better now, it is about chances. "We really thought we could have a result from today but we didn't. "Bobby had the winning goal on his foot in the 89th minute and then we conceded a goal in the 90 minute. "There's nothing you can say to Bobby. He's sick and we're all sick. "They play together and they lost together. We should have won this game and we didn't. Today should have been different."
