Silva fumes at referee before Fulham rescue act

Although Fulham were given two penalties at Craven Cottage manager Silva was far from happy with referee Bond for much of the match.
Much of that frustration stem from a decision. That came midway through the first half. When Wilson burst through on goal and was taken down by Davis.
Bond judged that there was a defender close enough to cover, meaning Davis was not the last man, and much to Fulham’s disbelief he showed just a yellow card.
“It’s important to say discussions with the referee is normal,” Silva
Difficult to understand why it wasn’t a red card. Just emotions, just normal.
“It’s my job to be as calm as I can.”
Silva’s mood was not help by Szmodics putting Ipswich ahead with a shot. That deflected in off Calvin Bassey following a poor clearance from the Fulham centre-back.
Substitute Emile Smith Rowe missed a golden opportunity to equalise after the break but headed wide from Alex Iwobi’s cross.
Silva, who had continued his protestations ufabet https://ufabet999.app with Bond at half-time, was incens again. When the referee waved away his side’s claims for a penalty for a trip on Wilson.
That decision was changed after the VAR consultation. But Silva’s reaction earned him a yellow card before Jimenez rolled in from 12 yards.
There was no real debate over the Ipswich penalty, but conceding it so soon after play resumed will not have helped to calm the Fulham boss.
Even the equaliser was not enough to satisfy Silva.
“We should have won the game because we did more than them,” he said. “When on the front foot we should have killed them in the right way.”
