Silva savours Fulham win – but Kevin’s injury ‘doesn’t look good’

Marco Silva admitted an injury Kevin suffered during Fulham’s win at Sunderland “doesn’t look good”.

The 3-1 triumph at the Stadium of Light lifted the Whites up to 10th in the Premier League table.

But the sight of record signing Kevin hobbling off in the first half was a worrying one and Fulham will assess the extent of the winger’s injury over the next day or so.

Boss Silva explained: “It doesn’t look good, unfortunately, but I cannot be 100% sure or give some feedback, because it’s too soon.

“Hopefully nothing serious, but right now the feeling is not the best. But you have to wait.”

Raul Jimenez opened the scoring early in the second half and his penalty then made it 2-0.

Enzo Le Fée responded for Sunderland, also with a penalty, before Alex Iwobi’s late goal sealed Fulham’s win.

“I think we deserved the three points. We were clinical. A big win for us,” said Silva.

“After the 2-1 is the moment that pleased me more really about our side – we handled very well the pressure. The stadium was buzzing in that moment.

“We didn’t do anything wrong. No chances for them until our third goal. We scored the third goal in an incredible moment for us.”
