Fulham boss left frustrated by only taking a point at Barnsley

Marco Silva was frustrated that Fulham did not get all three points against Barnsley.

Harry Wilson salvaged a point for the Whites after Carlton Morris had put the Tykes ahead in the first-half.

Fulham boss Silva said: “Whenever we don’t win a football match, it’s frustrating for us. More so when it happens like it did in this match.

“We created enough chances to win this game, definitely. It wasn’t a fantastic match to watch from both sides, difficult conditions to play good football on this pitch, it was too long and too dry. Moving the ball quickly on this pitch was impossible.

“It’s not an excuse for us because, I repeat, we created enough chances. In the first 10 minutes we created two or three moments where we should score, but at the end of the first half they score after a clear mistake from the referee.

“I’ve seen the moment 15 times, and I can’t see one moment where Tosin makes contact with the player inside the box. I don’t understand, even why he took so long to decide whether it’s a penalty or not.

“It’s difficult for us to understand. In the second half I saw our players fighting until the end. It was difficult to play at our best level but we equalised and had some more chances as well. It’s one more point for us.

“We reacted well [to going behind]. The desire and ambition was there, and they did their best. The good thing was that I saw our players fighting and believing in themselves. Even if we didn’t perform at our best level, they fought until the end.

“It’s a fantastic moment from Harry and he deserved more with the other chance that he had, because he deserved to score the winning goal.

“Everyone expected in that second moment that he would score. He did brilliantly with the first one. That’s football.

“The main thing for me is that he was there in the right moment to score and I’m sure in three days [against West Brom] he will have another chance to score.

“The most important thing for me is that it was a very good delivery from Fabio, and he was in the right spot to create the chance.”
