Something magical must have happened in this part of south-west London during last month’s international break. At that point – in what must feel like a different era for Fulham fans – Marco Silva’s side had scored just 10 goals in their opening 12 Premier League fixtures and were trying their hardest not to look worriedly down. Four games later they have turned the division’s goalscoring dud into a lethal marksman, bloodied the noses of some teams with lofty aspirations, and found the net a scarcely believable 16 times.
After what Silva had described as one of the toughest pre-seasons of his career, Fulham have found their voice in spectacular fashion. Back-to-back 5-0 wins do not come around very often.
