Fulham manager Marco Silva claimed his team deserved to win against Brighton and Hove Albion despite suffering a 2-1 defeat on Saturday.

Fulham travelled to Brighton with high hopes of extending their fine away record and maintaining a push for European football. The Cottagers had won five consecutive away matches across all competitions but struggled to impose themselves on an in-form Brighton.

Raul Jimenez's opener for Fulham had been cancelled out by Jan Paul van Hecke's towering header in the first half before Pedro's winner.

Yet Fulham’s goal in the fifth round of the FA Cup against Manchester United on Sunday was the third consecutive season where Marco Silva’s side scored from a right-sided outswinging corner at Old Trafford.

Pedro showed no sign of nerves as he stood atop of the ball from 12 yards out and he dispatched coolly into the corner to land Brighton's first-ever Premier League win over Fulham. Brighton have won six successive games across all competitions and are on a four-match win streak in the top-flight for the first time since 1981.
