Fulham boss Marco Silva has been speaking to BBC Match Of The Day after their win today: "It was tight just in terms of score, because everything else it was not tight at all. Football can be be unpredictable but it was clear today the best team on the pitch won. "Until the 35th minute of the game we were leading 1-0 but it should have been 2-0 or 3-0. Chris Wood scored with a great finish - he is on fire - but we controlled the game well. We showed the patience and created chances. "I told the players to keep the same principles and the second half was the same. One team creating, one team dominant, one team controlling. We had more chances to score a third than they did to equalise."On Adama Traore's display: "A great performance from Adama. It was a great cross with his left foot. Nice to see that quality and a nice header from Emile Smith Rowe."Adama had two good moments to score as well. It was a great performance from him. More balanced on and off the ball as well and I like to see Adama like that. He was switched on every time, and not with moments off. He was active on and off the ball. We need this type of quality performance."
