Silva insists Fulham deserved points: We wanted to win more than Wolves

Fulham boss Marco Silva insists they deserved their 3-2 win against Wolves on Monday night.

Three penalties were awarded on the night, including the winner converted by Willian on 94 minutes.

Silva said, "Really important for us. We wanted to see a reaction from the back-to-back defeats, that was tough and something we aren't used to happening and was the first time this season.

"We wanted to minimise the errors because if we're doing the right things, the gameplan, the strategy then we're a tough team to play against. We started the game really well and that's the Fulham I really want to see - the quality, the intensity.

"We showed very good spirit, a winning spirit to score for 2-1 and then for 3-2. It was a close game, we were trying to win the game more than Wolves. It was a good game overall and we deserved the three points."

On the penalties awarded, he added: "Three penalties, two for us, one for them. The second [Fulham] one is a clear penalty. The first for us and the one for them were a bit more soft.

"I hope [VAR] can always make the right decisions because it's their job."
