Did Everton deserve thw win? Furious Fulham manager Marco Silva makes bizarre claim about Everton which fans won’t agree with
Everton See Off Fulham as Marco Silva Reacts Angrily to Defeat
Everton claimed a solid 3-0 win over Fulham on Saturday, handing former manager Marco Silva a frustrating defeat at Craven Cottage.
In an unexpected twist, defenders Vitaliy Mykolenko and Michael Keane both found the net before striker Beto rounded off the scoring for the visitors.
Everton manager David Moyes praised his team’s second-half performance, crediting their improved display to tactical adjustments made during the break. Despite having secured their Premier League status for next season, recent results had caused some discontent among fans, particularly after last weekend’s disappointing draw with Ipswich Town—a point Moyes addressed publicly.
However, the spotlight turned to Marco Silva after the match, as the Fulham boss voiced his displeasure with how the game unfolded.
Silva Unimpressed with Fulham Collapse
Silva, who managed Everton from 2018 to 2019, was vocal in his post-match comments. He argued that his Fulham side were dominant early on but let the game slip from their grasp.
“In my view, it’s very simple. We were the better team on the pitch. The first 30 to 35 minutes reflected the level we aim to play at,” Silva said. “But in the last 10 minutes of the first half, we started losing control of key areas.”
Reports suggest Silva is set to join Saudi club Al Hilal at the end of the season, but for now, he remains in charge at Fulham and was clearly frustrated with the result.
Keane Shines Against Former Boss
Moyes singled out Michael Keane for praise after the game. The defender, who played 50 matches under Silva at Everton, put in a commanding performance and contributed with a goal. Everton’s reaction after halftime proved decisive, leaving Fulham unable to respond.
Post-Match Reunion at Craven Cottage
Despite his disappointment, Silva still found time to share a warm moment with some familiar faces from his Everton days. He has maintained connections at the club, having brought Alex Iwobi to Fulham during his tenure.
According to The Athletic, Silva was seen catching up with Leighton Baines, while also embracing Jordan Pickford and Idrissa Gueye as they walked by.
“Nice moment as Marco Silva waits to go into his post-match presser. Deep in conversation with Leighton Baines as Jordan Pickford and Idrissa Gueye walk past. Hugs for them both,” reported one journalist.
