'Cairney is not the player for that, everybody knows'

Fulham boss Marco Silva has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day after his side held Tottenham to a draw away from home: "I think that everybody should recognise that the team who deserved to win this afternoon was ourselves. We deserved to win.

"We played our way, with our identity, on the pitch. Myself, the players and the fans should be proud of it. We should have been leading the score with the chances we had. We have to be realistic, Tottenham had chances as well."

On Tom Cairney's red card: "Firstly, I know him. Tom Cairney is not the player for that, everybody knows. I have to be realistic and honest with you, everybody knows I am the first one asking him to be more aggressive in the right way, to keep some principles as a midfielder in that situation, but he is not the type of player to do that type of thing.

"He stamped on his leg and, of course, looking through the images it should be a red card and we have to accept it, knowing that Tom Cairney was really unlucky because he is not that type of player."

On the reaction to going down to 10 men: "What a reaction from us. The reaction was good - 15 minutes with 10 men and the reality is that Tottenham didn't create one chance."
