Fulham manager Marco Silva said an inability to make the most of a dominant first-half display proved costly in Fulham's 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth at Craven Cottage.
The Whites were on top before both Ryan Christie and Joachim Andersen were both sent off before the break, and Rayan's second-half strike secured all three points for the visitors.
“It was an impact, 100 per cent sure,” Silva said. “I have to say that we played a very good first-half. Our first-half, 11 against 11, we were clearly the team on the front foot.
“We had some very good moments of football. Bournemouth are a difficult side to play against, very intense, with man-on-man marking almost every single time.
“The ball arrived so many times in dangerous areas around their box. It's a moment to be clinical, to show individual quality, to decide better in some moments.
“We had a massive chance with Rodrigo (Muniz) alone in the six-yard box after a good moment from ourselves. We have to be clinical, we have to put the ball in the net in that type of moment from a striker with his quality.
“Unfortunately we didn't, but until Christie's red card, the game was completely on our side. The result didn't show that because in one or two moments, we were not clinical enough.”
Silva also pointed to Andersen’s dismissal as a key turning point, with the game opening up significantly after the interval.
“We know in football, sometimes if you get a red card you have to be more careful. You have to be much more mature.
“It had a massive impact, definitely. We knew there was going to be a bit more space second-half and we became a bit more fatigued because the team wasn't so compact - it became more like a game of basketball. That was the reality of the second-half.
“We have to go back to the beginning of the game where we were clearly the best team on the pitch.”
