'Clearly the best team won!' - Marco Silva proud of Fulham for 'controlling' the game in late win against Manchester United

Fulham pulled off a stunning upset against the Red Devils, to secure their second victory at Old Trafford since 1963, thanks to Alex Iwobi's injury-time goal. Calvin Bassey capitalised on a defensive lapse to open the scoring and when it seemed that Harry Maguire's late equaliser salvaged a point for the hosts, Iwobi struck to break United hearts.

Silva naturally loved what he saw from the sidelines and the manager made it a point to rub the defeat on the faces of their more illustrious opponent by claiming that they were the better team over the course of the 90 minutes.

Speaking to BBC Match of the Day, Silva said: "It is a big win for us. For sure, a great feeling for our fans, who were loud from the first to the last whistle. The players deserved it, clearly, the best team won the game. We were the team which played better, created more chances and had more control of the game.

"It is a fantastic feeling for us to come here and win against a side in a good run of form. We knew we would have to play at a high level and that's what we did. They had two or three moments as well, they are a quality team but we controlled it very well. I'm pleased how we played at the start of the second half."

United struggled to assert themselves in attack in the absence of injured striker Rasmus Hojlund and they were made to pay dearly for looking toothless in front of goal. It was their 10th defeat in the Premier League and this one was a mortal blow to their hopes of Champions League qualification as they now find themselves eight points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa.

Iwobi's goal, timed at 96 minutes and four seconds, happened to be the second-latest winning goal ever scored against United in the Premier League and the latest by a visiting team at Old Trafford since the 2006-07 season.

The result ended Fulham's 11-game winless streak on the road in the Premier League. After the morale-boosting win, they host Brighton next Saturday at Craven Cottage. Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag has a lot to ponder upon before facing Nottingham Forest in a fifth-round FA Cup tie on Wednesday evening.
