Damiano: Goma injury affected us

The Fulham defence went into the game at Goodison having kept cleansheets in their three matches prior to this one and Goma leaving the pitch after 27minutes contributed to the defeat according to Damiano.

"We're disappointed with the result," Damiano told the club's website.

"We had been fantastic early on but then we lost Goma with what could be a hamstring injury, and that affected us.

"In the end, Everton had more chances and deserved to win."

"We had played a very tough game with Chelsea in the week - maybe we were tired and fatigued from that."
