Marco Silva lauded Raul Jimenez’s performance after the striker’s stunning half-volley helped Fulham to a 3-1 victory over Newcastle. Jimenez’s opener marked his second Premier League goal in as many matches before Emile Smith Rowe doubled the Cottagers’ lead.

The Cottagers won via goals through Raul Jimenez, Emile Smith Rowe and Reiss Nelson. “A well deserved three points, clearly, in my opinion,” Silva said. “Great work from the lads, and a great reaction from ourselves.

Marco Silva has lost all five Fulham matches against Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United. Sixth time lucky. A dominant first half performance earned this victory. Newcastle United improved after the break when Eddie Howe made changes in personnel and strategy.
