Rufus Brevett has warned his Fulham teammates not to get carried away after their third successive league win.

Jean Tigana's side handed Newcastle a comprehensive defeat at Craven Cottage on Saturday to move into 11th place in the Premiership.

And it looks as though Tigana's big money summer signings are finally starting to gel into a side capable of causing problems for the country's best clubs.

But former QPR left-back Brevett believes there is still plenty of work to do before Fulham can feel comfortable in the topflight.

He said: "We've moved up to eleventh now. And it's nice to look at the table and see yourselves in such a good spot.

"But there's a long way to go. We've got Bolton away next, and that's going to be difficult. The way it is at the moment, everyone's beating each other."

Tigana admitted at the start of the season that he hoped to launch a challenge for a UEFA Cup place this season, but although Fulham are within touching distance of the top six, Brevett is still cautious.

He added: "I think we're only six points off the top, so you never know what could happen if we carry on playing like this. But we've got to take every game as it comes, and not be stupid.

"The great thing about this side is we're all together. We're all striving for the same thing. It's just a pleasure to be playing in a team like this."
