Fulham boss Marco Silva speaking to BBC Match Of The Day: "Overall, good performance from us. We would've liked to have a bit more of the ball in the second half, to have longer periods of possession and be able to create more. We pressed them very well every moment. [Aston Villa are] a top side with physical and technical players but we needed [to win] and we wanted it. We created good moments. Second half it was difficult to press, we needed a bit of calmness and quality and could've created more. Back-to-back clean sheets in a crucial moment.

"Very hard work, some moments not easy. They had some moments but we were competitive."

On the disallowed goal: "No comments on that. The image speaks of the moment. The way you have asked me the question speaks about the moment."

On fighting for Europe: "Massive win against a top side. Always capable of finding moments to score the way they build through the spine of the team. Our work was good. Two points off sixth and it's going to be a big fight until the end. We have set ourselves in a position to fight for something so that should make everybody proud. It will be difficult. We have lots of injuries but we keep fighting to make people proud of us."

Fulham have beaten Aston Villa for the first time in the Premier League since 20 October 2022, a run of six games without a win.

Joachim Anderson recorded four tackles, four interceptions and seven clearances in this match, becoming the first Fulham player to hit those tallies in a Premier League game since Sasha Reither vs Chelsea in November 2012.
