Slavisa Jokanovic proud of Fulham performance at Millwall

Jokanovic proud of Fulham display at Millwall

Slavisa Jokanovic has declared himself proud of how Fulham withstood a tough proposition at Millwall to run out 3-0 winners on Friday night.

Goals from Ryan Sessegnon, Kevin McDonald and Aleksandar Mitrovic ensured that the Cottagers ended the Lions' unbeaten run and extended their own to 22 games.

The win also saw the side return to second in the Championship table - for 24 hours at least - and Jokanovic insists that he is satisfied with the win.

"I must be proud about how my team played," the Fulham boss told Get West London.

"The first 45 minutes, Millwall were strong and used their weapons, but we showed we could be solid. In the second half, we scored early and moved the ball a bit better.

"We stuck to our style and played a brilliant second 45 minutes. It's not easy to play football in this place. The last time Millwall lost here was in November.

"We normally trust our style and dominate possession of the ball. We showed great ambition and desire and stuck to our plan. I must be satisfied because my team followed the game plan and played with confidence. We deserved this result."

Fulham must wait on the result between Cardiff City and Nottingham Forest on Saturday night to know whether they will spend the weekend in the top two of the table.
