Fulham boss Silva: We had chances to win by even bigger margin at Huddersfield

Marco Silva was pleased with Fulham’s performance after they thrashed Huddersfield Town 5-1 on Saturday.

Goals from Aleksander Mitrovic, Josh Onomah, Fabio Carvalho and a double from Ivan Cavaleiro wrapped up the victory for the Cottagers.

Whites head coach Silva said: “We deserved the three points, we were the better team on the pitch again, as well as last week.

“Unfortunately last week we didn’t score more goals, but this afternoon we got five. We had some luck with the first one, but we had clear chances to score more and more.

“In the end it was a fair result, we were the best team, the players did well and it was a good performance.

“We were up against a good side who we know like to play out from the back. We took some advantage and our pressure was good from the first minute of the match.

“We’ve taken many positives, not just because we got the result and scored five goals, but some things we saw on the pitch. It’s a good feeling for us. You need to win matches to give yourself confidence.

“We had some good challenges today, after we made it 2-0 they scored but then straight away we scored the third goal.

“After the red card we made some changes to create a different shape on the pitch.

“We had some fast players to the side, Bobby right and Ivan on the left, and more power with Frank Anguissa inside with Seri.

“We scored two more goals after we took a risk to play more and put more players against their backline.

“If you have a good shape and keep the organisation in our team then good moments can come on the counter attack.”
