Marco Silva expressed satisfaction with Fulham's performance in their 2-1 victory against Wolves, which elevated them to ninth in the Premier League standings. The match began with Ryan Sessegnon scoring his first Premier League goal since rejoining Fulham, assisted by Andreas Pereira. Despite Wolves equalising through Joao Gomes, Fulham regained control with Rodrigo Muniz's impressive chip securing their first Premier League win at Molineux.

Silva praised his team's ability to manage the game differently after taking the lead again. He noted that Fulham limited Wolves to just two shots on target in the second half. "We scored early in the second half and controlled the game in a different way than we normally do," Silva told TNT Sports. "They didn’t have one chance in the second half. I think we did really well."

Sessegnon's goal came just 58 seconds into the match, marking the earliest goal Wolves have conceded since September 2022. This quick start set the tone for Fulham's strong performance. Wolves have struggled at home this season, losing nine matches, more than any other non-promoted team.

Silva highlighted the contributions of Sessegnon and Muniz, both of whom were starting players and scored crucial goals. "Ryan [Sessegnon] has that capacity to arrive in the right moments at the right spot and to be there," Silva said. "What a goal from Rodrigo, amazing game." Their performances were pivotal in securing Fulham's victory.

Wolves' Defensive Struggles

Vitor Pereira expressed disappointment with how Wolves started each half, conceding early goals that led to their defeat. He stated to TNT Sports: "If you start a game conceding a goal like we did, and you go for the second half, and you concede another goal like we did, we have to look at ourselves and correct what we should correct." The loss highlighted areas needing improvement for Wolves.

This victory marked an important milestone for Fulham as they secured their first-ever Premier League win at Molineux since 1985. The team's ability to adapt their strategy and maintain control was key to overcoming Wolves' challenge.
