Fulham boss Marco Silva was delighted with their 5-0 thrashing of West Ham, rating it their best performance of the season.

Asked whether he thought it was a better performance than the 5-0 win against Nottingham Forest, Silva was clear.

“No doubt about it because against Forest, we didn't start the game the way we wanted," he said. “The only thing that I really didn't enjoy that game was our first 15 minutes .

“On Wednesday, everyone was saying that okay, 'it was against Forest, they are really bad, all that stuff.

“In the Premier League, it doesn't exist and then they showed that yesterday when they got a good result away from home.

“This afternoon was against the team that just came from winning the derby away from home against Tottenham, the way they are doing so well in the Europa Conference.

“Credits for the players the way they did it. The way they enjoy, and they embrace the challenge."
