Fulham boss Marco Silva: Muniz deserved his goal

Fulham boss Marco Silva praised goalscorer Rodrigo Muniz after their 3-3 draw at Sheffield United.

Muniz struck a spectacular equaliser for the draw.

“First of all, nice to see him handle all the game, the 105 minutes, because he had a tough week," Silva said.

“10 days ago he got an injury in a training session, he just trained the last two days for the match. Nice to see him handle the game and to play and to be decisive again.

“It was an unlucky afternoon for us, for him, when he had two off the post. The first half off the post, great save from the goalkeeper, and a great, great header from himself. If that goes in the net it's going to be an unbelievable goal from himself.

“Even so, he kept the composure, he kept the trust in himself. We provided good chances for him – great, great goal from him, and great to see him scoring again and helping the team to get points. Much more to come from him."
