Marco Silva was bitterly disappointed after a rampant Wolves came from behind to thrash Fulham at a wet Craven Cottage this afternoon.

The Portuguese head coach was particularly disappointed with the way that the Whites conceded an equaliser to Matheus Cunha after Alex Iwobi had curled in a splendid opening goal.

Silva told his post-match press conference after the 4-1 defeat.

Not just one thing went wrong today. Of course, if you just look at the result it’s a difficult one to take, but in my opinion the score doesn’t reflect what happened throughout the game. It was a strange game in the way it went and, of course, the big moment that made us play with ten men – [Joachim] Andersen’s injury after we made all of our changes.

“I think we started the game like we should, on the front foot, trying to command like we normally do. We created some chances even before the great goal we scored. The way we conceded the first goal made a big impact on the game because we were controlling. Three passes and great movement from Cunha, who is a great, great player, but we should have defended much better.

We started the second half with two chances but we conceded, and after Joachim had to come off it was much more difficult for us and they scored two more.”

The Fulham boss felt he could have been less adventurous with his substitutions after Andersen’s injury meant his side played the final quarter of the contest with ten men – and were duly punished in the closing stages. He told Match of the Day:

“I wanted to bring fresh players, with Kenny Tete on a yellow card. I probably should have kept that one in my pocket, but the yellow card probably rushed my decision to bring on Timo [Castagne] as well.”
