Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha admits the players were floored by defeat to Manchester United on Sunday night.
Fulham lost 2-1 in injury-time thanks to Alejendro Garnacho's winner for United.
Palhinha said, "No words can explain what me and my team-mates feel in this moment. We are really disappointed with the result because I think we deserved to win this game. We did our best and we didn't deserve this result. But we need to keep strong.
"When you play a team like United, you know you need to be concentrated for the whole 90 minutes. It's the little details, you know? In the last minute, like against City. It's really disappointing.
"We will keep fighting and give our best for the rest of the season.
"Football is like this, sometimes the best team doesn't win."
