Fulham to ‘fight very hard’ for European spot after vital win – Silva
Marco Silva declared that Fulham will “fight very hard” for a European place after prevailing in a “must-win” game against Burnley.
The Whites came from behind to win 3-1 at Craven Cottage – a big boost going into a three-week break in matches.
Boss Silva said: “We knew that it was a must-win game for us and it was the same for Burnley.
“They are not in a good position and every game is a final for them, and for us it was the same.
“For the long break that we were going to have, it was very important to go with the positivity around ourselves.”
“I am the first one that wants consistency in every single game. We are there, we are going to fight very hard to achieve (Europe).”

Josh King scored his first Premier League goal to level the game.
The 18-year-old was denied what he thought was his first goal in August, when VAR disallowed his strike against rivals Chelsea.
“It’s really special for him,” said Silva.
“He’s been working very hard. He’s a big, big talent. He’s a top young player but he knows that we have been working with him and demanding things from him.
“He has the capacity to arrive in the spots that we want. It’s going to give him a lot of confidence.”
