Fulham manager Marco Silva was delighted with his side's resilience, as Fulham beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at Craven Cottage.
“Massive three points for us, massive win, and the away win against Burnley was going to have bigger impact if we could win again back at home. We spoke about that before the match, the importance of the game, and to win back-to-back in the league after the two games against City and Palace that we deserved more from.
“I have to say wasn't our best performance in terms of quality on the ball. First half, we did well, not in a consistent way, but we had some good moments where we explored our left hand side. When we overloaded we were able to create gaps and we had some some good chances.
“In the second half, we wanted to manage the game in a different way. Off the ball, we didn't give anything for them - not one chance. They had the possession, but they didn't create.
“We managed the game in the way we set up but we didn't have the ball and, in that moment, I felt that we needed Tom Cairney in order to have more possession and that was the reason the substitution. He gave the calmness for us on the ball.
“It was a professional performance from the team. We kept a clean sheet, very important for us, and we won the game that it was clear we deserved. I don't remember through all the game one chance from Nottingham Forest.”
