Marco Silva praises his team
“Brilliant performance from us,” Fulham coach Marco Silva said in his post-match press conference, via the club’s website. “Very, very good level. We were the best team on the pitch, not just because we won five nil but the way we performed from the first minute.
“The players understood the plan and they it executed really well. The way we did it, it was almost a perfect afternoon for us. Of course, the last 25 minutes, we just tried to control the game on the ball. We lost some balls that gave them the chance for some counter-attacks. Apart from that we didn’t give almost nothing for them. We did control well and it’s not easy to control a team like West Ham with the quality they have.”
