The 3-2 win saw Fulham end a winless run at Turf Moor lasting 74 years.
“I believe that it was a deserved win for us,” Marco said. “There were many chances for both teams. Some of the chances that we gave away came from unforced mistakes from ourselves. In some moments, we needed better communication, better leadership. Let’s hope in the future it won’t happen again.
“We started very well, which was important for us. The execution from the players was brilliant in that corner for Emile’s goal.
“They equalised in a moment where our back line should be much more narrow, more compact. But we were clinical in the first-half, the way we scored the goals, and another good execution from Harry Wilson, the way he kept the ball to assist for Calvin (Bassey).
“Second-half we had two or three moments where we should have scored to make it 3-1. We scored a very good goal in a fast attack from us, and it was clear that every time we were able to connect passes between ourselves, we were able to create chances.
“When I was told about the record of Fulham in this match here from 1951, I was a little bit in shock,” he admitted. “We spoke before the match about it, that this evening we have to stop it. The players, they did it.”
Harry Wilson scored and also created Fulham's other two goals.
Silva added, “Clearly in my opinion, he’s in the best moment of his career so far. Both assists were top and his goal was a top, top level. Off the ball, he’s working very hard to help the team. What a night from him – decisive again.”
