"I thought we worked well from the first to the last minute and we were good value for our victory.
"With this game coming after a few where were forced to ride our luck from time to time, it was nice to win in a very convincing manner. Getting Simon Davies and Bobby Zamora back was really important and both of them did very well to last as long as they did.
"It was nice to be able to substitute them fairly early on as well and not push them to the limit.
"I thought the victory lay in the hard work and the quality of our defending. We gave them very little time and space to play and we used the ball wisely.
"We got everything right tonight - the defending and attacking - and on a night like that, we would have been a tough nut to crack for any team."
After finally breaking the run without a win on Saturday the Clarets were looking to extend that with a good result at Craven Cottage but it was not to be and Laws said after seeing his side go down 3-0: "After we put in a magnificent performance against West Ham we've not had time to enjoy the moment.
"Fulham have got a great home record and we knew coming here we'd have to have a steely determination about us but I thought the performance wasn't to a standard that we set and what we showed on Saturday.
"However, you have elements within that, that you need to stay in the game. Even though we haven't particularly played well thought the first two goals were offside. You need that fortune on your side where the referee and linesman get it right, but quite clearly the television cameras show they got it wrong.
"They're important decisions for us because we need all the help we can get. If you're not playing well the one thing you have to rely on is making sure the referee and linesman get it right and quite clearly they didn't."
He continued: "We know that we're having a difficult time away from home. We're having to try to change the mindset that's been here all season. Psychologically I think it will start to affect the players because their mindset is an acceptance that this is what's the norm. That's what we have to change.
"I could see one or two heads dropped early in the game. We can't have that, we've got to have players fully focused because we can't carry anybody.
"If anybody's under par that's a difficulty. If you have two or three of them, that's an impossibility. But we've got a terrific opportunity to work with the players over the next three or four days, where we are together.
"I'll get to know them a bit better, we'll hopefully get to the bottom of this and try to find out what we can turn around."
