Fulham boss Marco Silva accepts Burnley defeat

Fulham boss Marco Silva admits Burnley deserved their win on Saturday.

The Clarets left with a 2-0 win and the points.

“Disappointing result for us clearly," Silva admitted. “Good first-half from ourselves I think. We were the best team on the pitch all first-half, we were the dominant team.

“We controlled the game and created three or four clear chances. Of course, when you are so dominant and you create chances like we did first-half, we should score. If not, the game is open and anything can happen at this level.

“We started in the worst way possible second-half, conceding a goal in the first minute. After that moment, we didn't perform like we normally do and in the way to create more problems for them.

“Unfortunately, we conceded a second goal in a way that cannot happen. It's a moment where we're completely out of balance and we lost that moment. It is what it is and we have to react in the next game."
