Watching on: Silva’s ban meant he could not be on the touchline
(Picture: REUTERS)Marco Silva says a touchline ban was harder for himself than for his players after he watched from the stands as Fulham beat Sunderland 3-2 to book a place in the FA Cup fifth round.
With the original fourth-round match at Craven Cottage finishing 1-1, Fulham visited the Stadium of Light in the hope of extinguishing Championship Sunderland once and for all. They just about did so, booking a meeting with Leeds United in the next round with a chaotic yet entertaining 3-2 away win.
