"Danny Ings, Andy Irving, Ollie Scarles and Aaron Cresswell were all great. It's obviously nice to score three goals and long may that continue.""Danny had a massive game against Aston Villa. He hasn't played consistently for a while, so I just thought going from Friday to Tuesday was big for him and that he would be more useful towards the back end of the game and he has really helped us.
"We knew in the second half that they would react. The game went a bit up and down and we knew in that moment that they could be dangerous. They had control and with the speed and the talent they created so many chances."Amazing. Matz kept us in the game with some huge saves. We are very proud. He is in a good moment. He has been able to keep us in games many times now, that shows how good he is. It also shows we have to do better in our defensive actions.
"If we continue bringing performances like in the second half today then we will not always be that unlucky that it ends with a draw." "We weren't prefect for sure. But the foundation and the starting point has to be preparing to suffer together and looking after each other. They did that. We suffered at the start of the game. We were bit more aggressive with pressing halfway through the first half and it helped us. We got the goals which was against the run of play at that time. Then we got the crowd involved and then I though it was a little better for us.
"It was one of those occasions where everything went right. But like I said I am not happy because I think we could have won.""I was just telling that to my former coaches from Wolves just now. He made two or three great saves. You want to do better but he was good as well.""It's a long way to go in the Premier League. Every ground you go to it's hard. It's one more point but we wanted the three.
"It's difficult to value. When you consider how Chelsea played and we played, I don't think we deserved to win. Cucurella is touching Semenyo and they scored. It should be changed. What do you have to check? I don't think we were better than Chelsea.""It was not violent. he just tries to grab him. It is not something violent. I don't understand why VAR gets involved in these things. I don't understand a lot of things from the referee today.
The Hammers were outplayed in the opening exchanges as Harry Wilson hit the bar for the visitors, but then the game swung in three first-half minutes. West Ham's two-goal advantage was restored when Lucas Paqueta tucked home a loose pass after Danny Ings forced Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno into an error.Fulham had a golden chance to equalise in stoppage time when a cross fell for Adama Traore, but he blazed over the bar from five yards.
The former Brighton and Chelsea boss will have had little time to work with his players since taking over on Thursday, but there were already signs of improvement. "He has shown us a quite clear message on what style he wants us to play and he's told us we will suffer, and that it is not one quick change from the first day and it will take time."
It might be a night manager Marco Silva is willing to write off as a bad one, because it is hard to legislate for the errors by Andreas Pereira, for the first goal, and then Leno. Fulham are unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League London derby matches – it’s their longest run without a league defeat against fellow London sides since a run of 12 between February 1936 and October 1938.
