'We had to punish them' - Frustrated Marco Silva says Fulham 'deserved' to beat Man Utd as Joshua Zirkzee steals three points for Erik ten Hag's team in Premier League opener

The Cottagers kicked off their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-fulham-joshua-zirkzee-casemiro/bltca0508304b5cd0f9" target="_blank">Premier League campaign with a trip to Old Trafford</a> on Friday and managed to create chances against Erik ten Hag's team, registering 10 attempts but hitting the target on just two occasions.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Just as the game looked set to end in a goalless draw, however, substitute <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-fulham-joshua-zirkzee-casemiro/bltca0508304b5cd0f9" target="_blank">Joshua Zirkzee got onto the end of a cross from Alejandro Garnacho and managed to divert it into the net</a> for the winning goal. Silva was left disappointed by the result as he feels his team were dangerous enough to punish the Red Devils, particularly in the second-half.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

He said to Sky Sports: "After 20 minutes good reaction from Man Utd. We adjusted at half-time and the second half was much better in my opinion. We had our chances. When you play against Manchester United... there were moments and we had to punish them."We had so many moments and we were punished at the end of the game. It was a crazy game and we did not play our own game. It was an emotional game, we tried to rush many, many times."We did not get the points I thought we deserved."

WHAT SILVA SAID

Silva will take some positives from his team's display against Erik ten Hag's side and will hope they can pick up a better result in their next outing - a home game against newly-promoted Leicester on August 24.
