Fulham captain Luis Boa Morte was the star of the show in the 2-1 victory over Arsenal, according to Cottagers manager Chris Coleman.
Boa Morte gave another all-action display, setting up his side's second goal with a super run and cross to play in Tomasz Radzinski.
Afterwards, Coleman hailed his skipper, who has long been linked with a move away from Craven Cottage.
He said: "When he's on form like that he doesn't need to say anything because other will follow him.
"He leads with his play and has been one of our better players for the last five or six years and when one or two of the big hitters have moved on, he has stayed. We must not forget that.
"He's had chances to move on, we've had big offers for him but Boa has always stayed. He's shown us a lot of respect.
"When his neck is on the line, he always gives 100 per cent and that's why he is our captain.
"I'm not looking to sell him, but it is the same as with any of my players. With Louis Saha, we didn't want to sell him, but the offer we received was too good to turn down."
