Fulham come from behind for first time this season as they crush Bristol City

Marco Silva was thrilled that Fulham came from behind for the first time this season to beat Bristol City 6-2 on Saturday.

That’s now 13 league goals in two Championship matches for the Whites, after they scored seven in midweek at Reading.

“I’m very happy, pleased to see the way we did it,” said Fulham boss Silva. “Looking at the performance, I didn’t like at all the way we conceded the goals, but I have to congratulate my players for the way they reacted.

“This is the first time this season we came from behind, and this afternoon we came from behind twice. We did it with big determination, and class as well, quality with the way we reacted to score some goals.

“We worked hard because it is really tough everything they have done so far. We deserved the three points.

“We have to send a message for ourselves first of all, for our fans, for the people that like Fulham Football Club.

“Two good goals from Kebano – the second goal is a very good one. He almost made a hat-trick as well, with the big chance in the second half.

“Our frontline is doing really, really well. Last Tuesday was Harry Wilson in a top level, this afternoon the other two popped up. It is everything as a manager that you want to see.

“For our opponents the message that we send is when they play against us, nothing more.

“Their focus is in their games, our focus in our games. At the end of the season, we will see which team has more points.”
