Graham Potter was pleased with his side's performance against Fulham.

Graham Potter praised a 'really good performance' from his side but was left frustrated that they couldn't claim all three points against Fulham.

It finished goalless at the Amex but Albion found Fulham keeper Alphonse Areola in inspired form as he pulled off a series of great saves.

“We're frustrated with the scoreline, because we had enough opportunities to win the game but I thought our performance was really, really good,” he said.

“We were the dominant team, created chances and restricted them to not too much apart from the good chance they had at the end. I am really proud of the players, I'm just disappointed we didn't get three points, if any team deserved to win it was us.”

Leandro Trossard saw two efforts in quick succession fail to find the back of the net.

There were no complaints from the head coach about Albion's work in the final third, despite their failure to break through a rugged Fulham defence and get past an inspired goalkeeper.

“I thought we were decisive in front of goal, their keeper made some good saves and perhaps a bit of luck didn't go our way,” added Potter. “We got into good positions which isn't easy in this league, we have to keep believing that we can score.

“Performances have been good across the season apart from probably a game at Leicester and a half against West Brom.”
