Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic remained positive after seeing his side lose 1-0 at Derby County in the first leg of the Championship play-off semi-final.

Having gone 23 games unbeaten and finished third, Fulham have now lost their last two games.

It was also the first time the Whites had failed to score since January.

But Jokanovic said: “It’s not a bad result, it’s not the result we deserve, but it’s part of football.

“We dominated and they scored after one cross and Jerome scored a fantastic goal.

“We cannot be frustrated, we must be in some way confident having showed the quality and a great mentality.

“What we want to do is change the story and win the game on Monday.”
