Fulham manager Marco Silva felt his side deserved more from their trip to Everton, as victory was snatched away from them in the 94th minute.

Alex Iwobi had given his side the lead, before substitute Beto was on hand to equalise at the death.

“Really tough for us, the result,” the boss admitted. “Sometimes football is difficult to explain.

“From the first minute, we came here and took control of the game. We knew that Everton were, in terms of results at least, in a moment where they had more confidence, but I think we took all the confidence from them because of the way we played.

“We didn’t give a chance for them to press us the way Everton normally press at home, and we were patient enough to build our attacks in the right moments to create chances.

“First-half, we created three or four clear chances to score. Unfortunately, we were not ruthless enough to start scoring, and second-half was almost the same story again.

“We took control of the game, playing in our offensive half most of the time and it was a great goal from us. Unfortunately, they score and, to be honest, we should defend our box better.

“Clearly we were the much better team and we deserved the three points.”

The point on the road did at least put Fulham back on track following last weekend’s disappointing 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa.

“I have to look at the whole picture and I asked for a reaction from the last home game against Villa, probably the only game this season that we were not at our level.

“The players committed themselves to the plan with our philosophy, with what we want to do on the pitch and, of course, even if the result was really tough, the fans have to be proud of the way we played this evening.”
