‘Fantastic’ Fulham move to the top of the Championship table
Marco Silva hailed his Fulham team for their “fantastic” performance after they beat Barnsley 4-1 at Craven Cottage to go top of the Championship table.
Goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic, Fabio Carvalho, Neeskens Kebano and Harry Wilson gave the Whites all three points.
Silva said: “The first 10 minutes was not really good. They came here with a clear plan to block some of our moments, we would have liked to explore on the opposition side.
“After the first chance that we had with [Michael] Hector, we started to express ourselves, to find the moments to explore, to find the spaces and the gaps, and we started to play in the way we like.
“Second-half was much better, some very good moments of football, some very good goals, which is what we planned to do.
“I’m pleased to see we scored four, we could have scored many more.
“It could have been a perfect afternoon, apart from the goal that we conceded, and I have to keep working with our players on that, to focus from the start until the end. But it was a fantastic performance.”
