Fulham boss Marco Silva delighted after winning 8-goal thriller

Fulham boss Marco Silva was left delighted after their 5-3 win against Leicester City.

Fulham jumped to a 3-0 lead before the Foxes fought back before eventually losing 5-3. Tom Cairney and Willian scored twice each.

Silva said, "Great team performance. Great moments of football, great goals. The way we played from the first minute was really good.

"We prepared well for the game and the players executed the plan very well.

"We clearly deserved the three points and it should have been much more comfortable. That is something for us to work on and keep improving.

"Very good goals by Willian. He is top, top class. It is hard to express in words the way he is playing and what he is doing for us this season.

"About Tom Cairney, he is working hard, did all the week of course. Players have been playing more in that position and doing so, so well but he has been really important player for me from the bench or starting. Great to see him score as well."
