He noted that Fulham started the game strongly and controlled most of the moments, with Sunderland struggling to create clear scoring chances.

Silva also praised his team's ability to manage defensive set pieces and stay balanced on the pitch, particularly against Sunderland's strong long throws and transition play.

Additionally, Silva expressed admiration for Fulham's Raúl Jiménez, who has made a significant comeback after a difficult period in his life.

Silva praised Jiménez's killer instinct and dedication to the team, saying that he always gives his all and performs with heart.

Silva's comments highlight the team's renewed confidence and determination after a disappointing loss to Everton in their previous match.
