Fulham manager Marco Silva rued missed chances after Fulham exited the Carabao Cup at the hands of Preston in the Third Round.

It took a dramatic 34-penalty shooutout to seal their fate at Deepdale, after they battled back from 1-0 down to take the tie to spot-kicks.

"I think, no I'm sure, that we did enough during the 95 minutes to win the game," the gaffer said.

"From the first minute, we took control of the game and I think we created enough chances to score more goals. That is the situation.

"We created two or three chances that we should have scored. One rebound in that moment on the edge of the box and they scored. A very good reaction from us second-half. We took control of the game all second-half. A good goal from us.

"Some good chances again, the crossbar, a lot of crosses, a lot of moments where we should have scored. We didn't and after in the penalties, they scored one more than us, one goal, and they are in the next round."

Reiss Nelson's first Fulham goal had levelled the scores, following good work from Ryan Sessegnon in the build-up.

"Very good run from Sess. I think he's improving, he's getting better. From the first minute until the last minute, he kept composure always. He was strong defensively and, of course, offensively we know that he is capable to do.

"It's important for him to get the confidence he needs because all of us know the quality that he has."

Another player featuring in the much-changed side was Sander Berge, who was given his first 90 minutes since joining the Whites.

"It's important for him to get 90 minutes for the first time with our shirt and he's going to be, step by step, in the condition that we need him to be to play the Premier League games."
