Marco Silva hailed Fulham’s powers of recovery as the Whites came from behind to register a third consecutive win over Brentford.
A poor pass from Josh King allowed Mikkel Damsgaard to put the visitors ahead after twenty eight minutes. Alex Iwobi volleyed the hosts level after and the home side were quick to continue their pressure after the interval. Ryan Sessegnon’s superb left-wing cross was headed past a stranded Caoimhe Keller. Silva said:
“We were the best team on the pitch. Our first-half was top level from the first minute. Front foot, very aggressive on and off the ball, building up our moments in the right way, causing them many problems with the positions of Alex Iwobi, Josh King and Saša Luki?.
A good first 20 minutes but we conceded a goal that we didn’t deserve – a mistake from ourselves in that moment. I loved the way the players reacted straight away and the support for Josh in that moment was lovely to see.
What a reaction from us. We kept ourselves cool, but we showed character, we showed resilience and kept doing the good things we were doing before. We controlled all of the first-half from the first whistle to the last, with some great moments of football too.
Second-half, we scored early and after that moment we didn’t give much to them. We were brave, organised and kept ourselves cool, controlling the second-half. The only moments in our box came from long throws or corners. Second-half, we scored early and after that moment we didn’t give much to them.
