Slavisa Jokanovic watched from the stands as Fulham ended 2015 in style by claiming a 4-1 win over struggling Rotherham to produce a fitting tribute to departed legend Jimmy Hill, who passed away before Christmas.
The Serb signed an 18-month contract with the club on Sunday after leaving Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Cauley Woodrow would have caught the eye as he scored twice in the first-half with two well taken finishes.
The first came in the opening exchanges as he was played through by Scott Parker before rounding goalkeeper Lee Camp and slotting home.
The second was a striker's finish as he latched onto Ross McCormack's cross to give Fulham a half-time lead.
They had been pegged back briefly as their frailties defending set-pieces was exposed yet again with Farrend Rawson lashing home after the home side couldn't defend a corner.
Woodrow turned provider just before the hour mark as his cross was turned home by Alex Kacaniklic after some superb play from McCormack.
The Scot had his goal with 20 minutes remaining when he lashed home from 12 yards after a superb control and turn.
There was still time for Woodrow to be denied a hat-trick as Camp saved when through on goal before his long-range header went over the bar.
