Marco Silva claimed Fulham’s draw with Everton was a really 'unfair result' and believes his side could have had a penalty.
Silva's side had 23 shots on goal, but failed to beat Jordan Pickford, who produced a man of the match display at Craven Cottage. England's number one pulled off a string of fine saves to earn his side a fourth clean sheet of the season.
Although busy throughout the whole 90 minutes, it was saves from Aleksandar Mitrovic and Willian during the first-half that really caught the eye. Everton also had chances of their own with James Tarkowski and Dominic Calvert-Lewin going close in the opening 45 minutes.

At the start of the second-half, Fulham saw an appeal for a penalty waved away after Willian went down under Idrissa Gueye’s challenge. And speaking post-match, Silva revealed Willian told him he was fouled, and hailed the heroics of Pickford.
He said: "A really unfair result, definitely. We were the best team on the pitch. We controlled the game and pushed them back, we had 13 corners and we created so many moments inside their box, normally we win this game.
"We played, we believed, we showed the way this evening. We deserved to win but playing like that many more results will come.
"We were not so clinical but give credit to Jordan Pickford as well. Willian said to me he was touched and it was a penalty but I haven't seen it back yet."
