Fulham on Thursday beat 10-man Chelsea 2-1 in a west London derby at Craven Cottage.
It was an interesting match in which Fulham manager, Marco Silva hailed the club and the fans.
More salt was added to the injury for Chelsea after Joao Felix was sent off on his Chelsea debut when the score was 1-1 and Carlos Vinicius headed in a 72nd-minute winner for Fulham.
Interestingly, Willian scored first for the host against his former side while Kalidou Koulibaly equalised early, in the second half of the match.
In reaction to the superb performance of his club, Silva said, “Chelsea is a super team, they are a massive club and their budget is completely different to ours, you can’t compare”
“It was a great night for our fans and they deserved it. For our football club, for our fans it’s special and I definitely felt it at the final whistle – the way they celebrated was a really important moment.
“Our players have been brilliant for the season so far but we know we are just in the middle of the season and as a manager there’s big room to improve.”
The winning goal from Vinicius has taken Fulham up to sixth in the Premier League.
