In the away changing room at Stamford Bridge before Thursday’s historic victory, Marco Silva told his players that it was ‘too long’ since Fulham fans had seen their team win at Chelsea in the top flight. Forty-five years, in fact.
The wild celebrations that followed Rodrigo Muniz’s 95th-minute winner in front of the Shed End summed up the raw emotions, with Silva channeling his inner Jose Mourinho and running down the touchline.
Silva called it Fulham’s ‘best Boxing Day’ in decades, and it’s hard to argue with that. They have had a lot of their highest highs in recent months.
