Harry Wilson hailed Marco Silva’s pre-match preparation after Fulham eased past Brighton and Hove Albion at Craven Cottage yesterday afternoon – despite having just 29% possession.
The Welsh winger curled home a majestic opener to put the Whites on the way to three points before setting up Rodrigo Muniz for Fulham’s second. Substitute Adama Traore rounded off the scoring in stoppage time and Wilson felt that Fulham’s margin of victory should have been even greater.
“We knew going into the game that Brighton would have large spells of the ball. We worked on it all week to make the most of when we could get it. Although they had a lot of the ball, we had the better chances and probably could have scored more.”
Wilson heaped praise on a transformed Muniz, who headed home his fifth goal in as many matches having not scored in the Premier League before last month.
“The last few weeks has been amazing. The goals have come and he deserves that. He always makes it hard for defenders and battles for the ball. The way he set up my goal shows that. We took the confidence of the result from last week into this game. To go to Old Trafford without Willian and Joao [Palhinha] and win was great. When we’re on it we can go toe-to-toe with anyone in this league.”
