"Silva watched on as the Cottagers ran out 3-1 victors at the Stadium of Light on Sunday, with Raul Jimenez's quickfire second-half double doing the damage for Fulham. After a low-key opening period, the visitors took the lead in the 54th minute through Jimenez, with the Mexican doubling his and his team's tally just seven minutes later. The Fulham striker increased Fulham's lead from the penalty spot, but Sunderland reduced the deficit with a spot-kick of their own that was tucked away by Enzo Le Fee."
""We want to push higher and higher. It was a key game for us," Silva told Match of the Day. "We are going to see. "March is a big month for us with five games, four of them at home. We will try to perform at our best level. "It was an important win, a big win for us. Well deserved as well. We showed quality, maturity, composure, organisation and braveness. "Those are the important moments you have to step up, and we did it.""
Fulham defeated Sunderland 3-1 at the Stadium of Light, moving up to 10th and ending a run of three straight Premier League defeats. Raul Jimenez scored twice early in the second half, adding a penalty to make it 3-0 before Enzo Le Fee converted a penalty for Sunderland. Alex Iwobi sealed the win five minutes from time. Marco Silva described the result as a key, well-deserved victory that showed quality, maturity, composure, organisation and bravery, and emphasized March's importance with five fixtures, four at home. Silva remains in contact with the board amid contract uncertainty.
