Marco Silva conceded Fulham must "look in the mirror" after a deserved defeat at Everton left them in an unenviable position in the Premier League.

Fulham lost 2-0 at Hill Dickinson Stadium, where goals from Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane got the job done for Everton, who also had three goals disallowed.

Silva's team have now lost five of their last six league matches, with their sole win in that run coming against lowly Wolves.

With West Ham beating Burnley, 15th-place Fulham are now just a point above the bottom three.

"I think we got what we deserved," said Silva, whose team generated chances worth only 0.4 expected goals.

"We played [well for] the first 20 minutes of the second half – nothing more. It's not good enough at all.

"We didn't cope. It's a moment for us to blame ourselves and look at ourselves in the mirror."

To compound Fulham's frustration, Rodrigo Muniz had to be taken off just 17 minutes after his second-half introduction, with Silva confirming the striker was suffering from injury.

Everton, meanwhile, got themselves back on track after taking just one point from their previous three league outings.

"The win is very much needed. We've been frustrated that we haven't picked up more results lately," goalscorer Keane told Premier League Productions.

"I'm very pleased to score. I knew it hit my shoulder and I knew it was safe. We work on set-pieces a hell of a lot and we try and get more goals in the team. One of the targets today was me so I fancied my chances."

Everton have lost just one of their last eight home matches in the Premier League (W4 D3), while the Toffees have kept a clean sheet in half of those games in that run (four).

And captain James Tarkowski felt it was a thoroughly deserved three points.

He told BBC Sport: "We played really well to be honest and dominated most of the game. We got that clean sheet, finally.

"Lately, we've not scored when we needed to in games and conceded a couple of sloppy goals. The margins are really small at this level but today we got it right."
