Darren Bent is relishing the opportunity to start his loan spell at Fulham in earnest, after returning to the fray following a hamstring injury.
The 29-year-old scored his second goal for the Cottagers in Tuesday evening’s Capital One Cup tie with Everton and he hopes his decisive strike is a sign of things to come.
"I've come in and want to play games and score as many goals as possible," Bent told Fulham's website.
"It was nice to come on and pop one in after the Chelsea game where I had a chance but Petr Cech saved it. It was good to get a chance and take it.
"I hadn't discussed it with Giorgos; I just had a look at the situation, he gave me the ball and I got a shot at goal and it managed to go in."
The frontman remained positive after Fulham’s stuttering start to the Premier League campaign and believes the players can feed off their recent cup success.
Martin Jol’s men - who sit 18 in the Premier League table - welcome newly promoted Cardiff to Craven Cottage this weekend as they look to kick start their season.
"There's no reason why we can't go on and have a really good season," Bent said.
"We'll take great confidence from that performance and now it's all about Cardiff on Saturday.
"You never want to go into a home game having lost your last one so we've got the win and we go from there."
