Everton inflicted defeat on their former manager Marco Silva in their visit to Fulham on Saturday.

Two unlikely Everton goalscorers got their names on the scoresheet with Vitaliy Mykolenko and Michael Keane before Beto capped off the scoring.

David Moyes was thrilled with the reaction from his side after the break when he had an opportunity to speak to his players.

Although Everton have secured Premier League football for next season, there has been some frustration from fans of late.

Moyes addressed restless Everton fans last weekend after their disappointing draw against Ipswich Town.

But it was the opposition manager Silva who was left furious when speaking to the media at Craven Cottage after the game against the Toffees.

Fulham boss Marco Silva makes bizarre Everton claim

It was a poor start to the game from Everton, but there cannot be too many people disputing their second half showing.

According to reports, Silva has agreed to join Al Hilal at the end of the season.

For now, he remains at the helm of the Cottagers and he was not impressed following full-time as he took aim at his former side.

“Very simple in my opinion. We were the best team on the pitch, the first 30, 35 minutes was the level we want. Last 10 minutes we started to lose some of the main things we had to be in control of the game,” he said.

Moyes was so impressed with Michael Keane who played 50 times under the Portuguese manager at Everton.

It was so clear, Everton were the side to respond best to the half time break and Fulham simply had no answer for the improved display from the Toffees.

What Marco Silva did after Everton beat Fulham

Although Silva feels his side were the better of the two teams when speaking in his press conference he still had time to make for his former colleagues.

Silva recruited Alex Iwobi from Everton after he was appointed as the Fulham manager.

And the 47-year-old took the opportunity to reunite with some of his former players following the full time whistle at Craven Cottage.

One journalist in attendance spotted the interaction between Silva and some of the Everton players and staff.

‘Nice moment as Marco Silva waits to go into his post-match presser. Deep in conversation with Leighton Baines as Jordan Pickford and Idrissa Gueye walk past. Hugs for them both,’ said The Athletic reporter.

Not many Everton fans will agree with his comments, but this was a nice moment.
