Over the years, we’ve witnessed plenty of surprising stuff in the English Premier League (take Leicester’s title, for instance). However, this latest miracle – and we’re not exaggerating there – probably tops it all.And the name of that miracle is Marco Silva’s Fulham.In the last two EPL ties, the Cottagers – believe it or not – celebrated back-to-back 5-0 home victories! In the same week.Wednesday: Fulham 5-0 Forest. 😏Sunday: Fulham 5-0 West Ham. 🤯Just another day at the office. 🤷♂️ pic.twitter.com/MRS7TBzYQA— Fulham Football Club (@FulhamFC) December 10, 2023 Firstly, they demolished Nottingham Forest 5-0 on Wednesday at Craven Cottage, inspired mainly by Alex Iwobi, who scored a brace.Today, just four days later, they recreated the same outcome, only this time against even much stronger West Ham. There were five different scorers for Fulham, with Raul Jimenez giving the team the lead in the 22nd minute to take his personal tally to four goals in five games.Fulham climbed to 10th place, three points behind West Ham in ninth.Fulham have scored 10 goals at home in their last 2 Premier League games. That is more than they have scored at home in the Premier League the rest of the season, with 7:✅ 5-0 vs. Forest✅ 5-0 vs. West HamGoals galore. 🤩 pic.twitter.com/WgCzswhcYS— Statman Dave (@StatmanDave) December 10, 2023 Marco Silva described the way his Fulham side dismantled West Ham 5-0 as “almost perfect” after the Craven Cottage faithful were treated to a second successive five-star performance.”The players understood the plan, and they expressed themselves on the pitch,” Silva told BBC Sport. “They executed it on the pitch, and this is the best feeling for a football manager.”The main thing is always the three points, that’s clear. Keeping a second clean sheet in a row is really important for us to have this feeling. Of course, scoring goals in many ways, nice goals from us and [we] had even more chances to score.##NAJAVA_MECA_7735322##”We didn’t give anything to our opposition apart from the last minutes of the game when we were a little bit sloppy. To control a team like West Ham in the way we did was almost perfect, so congratulations to the players.”
