Crysencio Summerville proved the matchwinner on the night.
Nuno declared afterwards, "Overall, I think we should realise how difficult it was for the boys.
"Fulham is a very good team, it’s a hard place to come, but the boys were organised, we had good moments of football and we achieved a clean sheet, we were resilient, we were compact.
"So, I’m very proud of the work, and a special word for our fans. I think they understand the moment of the team, the need that the team has for their support and today, it goes for them."
Nuno also said of the away support, "We cannot thank them enough, honestly.
"The noise from our supporters was amazing.
"We were there suffering and the way they are supporting our players, I think they realise, I repeat myself, they realise the moment of the Club and we need them all.
"The players are responding. Of course, bad games and bad results can happen, but I think we are in the line of improvement.
"We’ve been compact, we still assess the situation of set-pieces and improve a lot on that aspect.
"In the crucial moments of the game, we did well. And moving forward, we have talented players. We have talented players that can create a lot of problems to the opponents."
