Fulham boss Silva delighted with 2-goal Muniz for victory over Bournemouth

Fulham boss Marco Silva was delighted after their 3-1 win against Bournemouth.

Rodrigo Muniz scored twice for the Cottagers on the day.

Silva said: "It's a great win for us. A big win and well deserved. Overall we were the better team over 90 minutes. The first half was at a very good level.

"In the second half, on the ball, they played a little bit better than us. We reacted well to their goal, but their reaction was strong. The last game we conceded two late goals and sometimes the mindset plays a role [in the latter stages of the game].

"In the last game we deserved much more. Today we got what we deserved in the last few games."

On Muniz, he added: "When you play against sides who press really high and go man-on-man almost every time, you need someone [like Muniz]. He did so well.

"It was a very good performance from him. Three goals in two games – it's always important to help the team get the points. Last season was really tough for him, but he's getting his game time right now and helping the team."
