Silva: Fulham should have prevented Palace’s winner
Marco Silva admitted Fulham should have prevented Crystal Palace’s late winner.
Marc Guehi leapt to head home for the Eagles, whose 2-1 victory at Craven Cottage made it back-to-back home defeats for Fulham.
Whites boss Silva said: “It’s a great header. You can talk about the power on the ball, it’s a great header, but definitely we should have done better.
“One hundred per cent sure, we knew it, we prepared for it, and we should have done better.”

The defeat left Fulham just four points above the relegation zone, with Burnley and Nottingham Forest their next two opponents.
They have now lost seven of their past 10 Premier League games.
Silva said: “We didn’t create so many clear-cut chances. We should have started to move the ball quicker and make the ball arrive in offensive areas quicker.
“Unfortunately, we conceded a goal that we shouldn’t. If you can’t win, you can’t lose a game like that. These are the moments we have to be resilient.”
