Solomon delighted to score Fulham equaliser with parents in stands

Manor Solomon was delighted to score for Fulham again for their 1-1 draw with Wolves.

Solomon jumped from the bench to net the equaliser.

He said afterwards: "It is amazing to have my parents here in the stands.

"I'm happy for my goal but we wanted to win today and we didn't do it.

"We need to take the positives from this game and look forward to the next game on Tuesday.

"I'm progressing well from the injury, I've had a tough time outside the pitch but now I'm happy to be back and playing football again.

"I'm always trying to knock on the door of the coach and I will speak to him about this, I always want to be in the starting lineup. I'm glad I could do my job today.

"I feel ready to start, I feel physically much better and my body is feeling good."

On what was said at half-time, Silva said: "He [Silva] wasn't satisfied with our performance in the first half and he asked us to show what we've been doing all season. We did it better in the second half but we still wanted to win the game."

On his goal, he added: "I saw clean space so I ducked in and I'm happy to score. I'm happy it went in the right direction. I'm looking forward to more to come.

"I think (Antonee) Robinson made a good movement to make space for me and I saw the far corner."
