Fulham striker Mladen Petric is targeting four more wins to guarantee Fulham's Premier League safety after netting in his comeback for Croatia at Craven Cottage in a 4-0 friendly win over South Korea yesterday.

The striker admitted it was a strange feeling to play for his country at his club's home after two years in the international wilderness but now focus returns to the weekend's Premier League fixtures.

Fulham halted a bad run of form with a much-needed victory over West Ham last week and are now seven points clear of the relegation zone with 28 points.

Saturday's opponents Norwich have amassed the same number of points at the Cottagers and Petric believes more wins are needed to secure top-flight safety.

Petric, who is currently battling with Hugo Rodallega to play in place of the injured Dimitar Berbatov at Carrow Road, said: "I think we still need some points.

"The game against West Ham was very important for us and I think we need three or four more wins and then we are clear."

Without a Croation cap since March 2011, the Whites forward came off the bench to add a well-taken fourth goal after Mario Mandzukic, Darijo Srna and Everton's Nikica Jelavic had all scored.

"It was a strange feeling," Petric said.

"I had to change in the guest's dressing room but it was nice to have a game here, it was like a home game.

"It [the goal] was nice, I was very happy to score in my comeback game, I've been waiting almost two years for that and for a striker it is always nice to score."
