Fulham boss Silva left unhappy with referee after 1-1 draw at Bournemouth – Championship title can be clinched tomorrow night
Marco Silva reckoned the referee cost Fulham all three points after their 1-1 draw against Bournemouth on Saturday.
Aleksandar Mitrovic opened the scoring for the Whites in the 56th minute before the Cherries equalised right at the death through Dominic Solanke’s penalty.
Silva said: “Unfortunately, it’s tough for us. It’s tough for us the decision. For me, it is a mistake from the referee.
“It wasn’t the best game to see, it definitely wasn’t. A lot of challenges. Both teams didn’t perform at their best in my opinion.
“We had a different week. We got promoted on Tuesday night and as you expect we celebrated and in the last few minutes of the game, we didn’t have the energy we should have.
“We knew that would happen in the last 30 minutes of the game.We controlled the game really well even though we didn’t play at our best level. There were not many chances for both teams.
“It means a lot for us. We want it, we will fight for it and it’s really important for us to get it as well.”
Fulham can seal the title if they beat Forest tomorrow night at Craven Cottage.
Silva said: “It will be tough against a very good side. Nottingham Forest are doing fantastic. The way they are fighting and the way they are doing it is unbelievable and they will create a lot of problems for us, I am 100per cent sure of it.
“They will create problems but we will create problems as well. We want to be champions at home with our fans and to celebrate properly the situation. It is a great achievement for this football club.”
