Fulham boss Silva admits 'big disappointment' for Wolves defeat

Fulham boss Marco Silva admitted frustration after defeat at Wolves.

Rayan Aït-Nouri and a Tom Cairney own goal had Wolves 2-0 ahead before Alex Iwobi struck in injury-time.

Silva later said, "We have to be frustrated. Big disappointment for us.

"We did create enough chances to win this game, that is the reality. First half it was just chances for you and some clear ones.

"We started really, really bad in the second half,. Not with the intensity we want and gave them the chance to press us. We gave them the ball in positions we shouldn't and the goals come from those moments.

"Our reaction was good, we created some clear chances to get a goal back. We created much more than them but the reality is we lost the game because of some mistakes from us.

"They changed nothing. We lost three or four balls in five minutes in our build up, not from pressure from the opposition. It creates momentum for them and they took advantage of it.

"Some great saves from Jose Sa, but with chances we had, you expect the ball to be in the net. We have to be clinical and ruthless at this level, we weren't and we were punished by those mistakes."
