Alex Iwobi felt Fulham deserved to take something from Saturday’s lunchtime meeting with Manchester United.
After a low key first half, Marco Silva’s men had much the better of the second period, but were punished by Bruno Fernandes’ stoppage time strike.
And an expected goals figure of 1.17 to our opponents’ 0.74 backed up Iwobi’s assessment.
“Of course it’s difficult to take,” he said afterwards. “We had the opportunities to get a goal and we felt like we were on top of them as well, we dominated, especially in the second half.
“But we just have to go again, put this to rest, analyse and take the positives into the next game.
“We played well. The fighting spirit was there, we created many chances, we did well with the ball.
“Like I said, I feel like in the second half we dominated much more, so we just have to take that into the next game.
“We analysed them well and I feel like it was a good performance, but it’s the small details that win the game and unfortunately Man United took all three points.”
When asked what those small details were, Iwobi replied: “Maybe for us to stay composed in the final third.
“Especially in the second half, we created a lot of opportunities, and then probably the vital moment at the end, just to remain composed and just get rid of the ball.
“But everyone worked really hard, it was just that little bit at the end that made the difference.”
