Fulham boss Marco Silva: Sheffield Utd thriller still disappointing

Fulham boss Marco Silva admits he's disappointed after their 3-3 draw at Sheffield United.

The visitors came from 3-1 down to earn the point.

Silva later said: “An exciting game, for sure, for the people that were here. I have to be honest – it's a disappointing result for us.

“Clearly a disappointing result for us, because when you are dominant from the first minute like we were, the team that created clearly more chances to win the game, that from the first minute was on the front foot and tried to win the game, it is disappointing.

“Not just because of that – the way we conceded goals. These type of games, when we are dominant, we have the ball most of the time, we cannot be sloppy in the way we conceded the first and the second, even the third [with] the way we lost the ball.

“It creates a difficult scenario, but the reaction I have to say was fantastic. We, as a team, refused to lose this game.

“The players felt, for sure, on the pitch the way we were losing the game was really unfair, but it was our fault as well, and we fought as a team.

“We showed the quality to come back from 3-1, scoring two great goals and creating more chances even to win the game in the last minutes. Even the last minute of the game, the big chance with Tom Cairney at that free-kick.

“Overall, looking at the game, I have to say that it's a disappointing result, [but] I'm pleased for the reaction from the players."
