Fulham's Rene Meulensteen: 'Sunderland defeat a massive blow'

Rene Meulensteen says that Fulham missed an opportunity to move up the Premier League table following their 4-1 defeat against Sunderland.

Fulham manager Rene Meulensteen has expressed his disappointment with his side's 4-1 defeat against Sunderland.

The Cottagers fell to their 14th loss in the league this season and Meulensteen felt that they failed to take their chances at crucial moments in the game.

"It is a massive blow for us. We know how important it is to win your home games, especially against the teams near you in the table, but it's a massive opportunity missed for us to move up the league," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"We settled really well and worked out some really good chances. You want your chances to fall to someone like Dimitar Berbatov, but he did not put it away.

"Then we went 1-0 behind and that gave us a mountain to climb. We were playing well enough to get back into it and there was still plenty of time, but when it went to 3-1 that was the killer goal."

Fulham are currently 16th in the Premier League table.
