Fulham boss Marco Silva was proud of his players after their 2-1 win at Manchester United.

Alex Iwobi struck Fulham's winner nine minutes into injury-time after Harry Maguire had equalised Calvin Bassey's opener for the visitors.

Silva said: "It is a big win for us. For sure, a great feeling for our fans, who were loud from the first to the last whistle.

"The players deserved it, clearly the best team won the game.

"We were the team which played better, created more chances and had more control of the game.

"It is a fantastic feeling for us to come here and win against a side in a good run of form. We knew we would have to play at a high level and that's what we did.

"They had two or three moments as well, they are a quality team but we controlled it very well. I'm pleased how we played at the start of the second half.

"After we scored we knew there would be a reaction. We tried to play offside for their goal but there was not the synchronisation we wanted and as they pushed, we showed the mentality which we had missed in other away games. It was a great counter and a great finish.

"The players deserve great credit because they understood the plan and executed the plan. It was an open game, we don't change away or at home. This is our way."
