Fulham mix it up to end Premier League losing streak with impressive win at Everton

Fulham manager Marco Silva felt his side proved that they are not a “one-player team” after they won 3-1 at Everton without suspended striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The Whites had lost four successive Premier League matches heading to Goodison Park.

But goals from Harrison Reed, Harry Wilson and Dan James only piled more relegation pressure on their opponents.

Silva told BBC’s Match of the Day: “Many, many positives to take from the game. Firstly of course the three points and the win. We were clearly the best team on the pitch. The way we started and the moment we scored was well deserved, because we were the best team on the pitch.

“In some moments we take some risks and in that moment when they won the first and second balls and they reacted well and scored the goal. They had small momentum at the end of the first half but we spoke at half-time to stick to the plan. Our second half was very good and we had even more chances to score. We had good chances in those moments.

“Congratulations to the players and the fans – we changed some things and played with a different striker. Daniel James had a very good performance and deserved his goal.

“We are not a one-player team (but) if you have all of them it makes it easier. Mitrovic is a top goalscorer for us and it gives a chance to mix up our game but I said from the first day that we are more than a one-player team. We changed a little bit the plan in some moments, and Harry Wilson and Dan James did very well. It gives us the chance to mix our game and I am pleased for them because the plan worked well.”
