Hughes thrilled by Kakuta performance

Manager Mark Hughes hailed the debut display of on-loan Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta during the 1-0 victory over Newcastle at Craven Cottage. Damien Duff twisted the knife into Newcastle by netting the winner against his former club but he was almost upstaged by a thrilling cameo by Kakuta. Hughes said: "As soon as he came into the building you could see the qualities he has. He has fantastic feet and is very aware of the players around him. "At the right time, in the right games, against the right opposition, he'll have a real impact." The win was Fulham's fifth in succession at home and Hughes believes teams are now frightened of coming to Craven Cottage. "We want them to be fearful in anticipation, to be perfectly honest," he added.
