Fulham captain Cairney insists victory over Wolves deserved

Fulham captain Tom Cairney insists victory over Wolves was deserved on Monday night.

Three penalties were given in the game with Fulham's Willian converting a 94th minute spotkick for the winner.

Cairney said, "The gameplan was to play well from 0-0, we always play well from behind. The first goal was key, we've gone behind far too often so to go 1-0 up gives you that little energy and extra legs.

"The win was massive, They brought it back twice. They are a good team and they brought it back but I felt we had an extra bit tonight."

On whether he is going to be pushing to start regularly, he stated: "This is football, you have to stay professional and bide your time and that's what I am going to do."

On his penalty won after a foul on Nelson Semedo, Cairney added: "I was controlling it quick and I got there and I have moved the ball and he has hit my ankle. At that pace it takes you down and I think it was a penalty."
