Emile Smith Rowe believes Fulham are becoming more clinical after they inflicted Newcastle United’s first defeat of the season this afternoon.

The England international scored the second goal in an impressive 3-1 victory over the Magpies and sparkled as Marco Silva’s side produced their most complete performance of the campaign so far.

Smith Rowe told Match of the Day:

“I’m really confident at the moment and comfortable with everything. I’ve got to keep going and keep working hard. Everyone knows it has been a tough couple of seasons for me, I have to stay fit and I feel good at the moment. I’m feeling confident and happy.

Sticking together and staying patient at times [was key for us]. We know Newcastle are a really strong team so we had to sit at times and be patient, get the ball and score. We’re really happy. We’re happy we took our chances, first few games we struggled to take our chances, so we’re happy with our three goals. It starts off the pitch, it’s like a family in there and we know we want to do everything for each other and want to work and want to win.”
