Fulham manager Marco Silva has lavished praise on Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze following his side's 5-4 loss to Manchester City on Tuesday night.

The 26-year-old, who came on as a second-half substitute, scored a brace for the Cottagers, but it wasn't enough as Pep Guardiola's side held on to see out the game.

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi was also on target for Fulham.

In his post-match press conference, Silva hailed the performance of the former AC Milan winger while urging him to maintain the same level.

“He’s getting better and better. Unfortunately, we’re going to lose him in 15 days’ time, like it was three times in the last three months, but it is what it is, and till then we have to get the best from him and let’s hope we can do it on Sunday again,” he told the club’s official website.
