Farke content with Oliveira celebration

Norwich head coach Daniel Farke says that he is content with Nelson Oliveira after his emphatic celebration against Fulham.

The Canaries scored late on to snatch a draw at Craven Cottage, although they deserved their share of the points from their performance.

Marley Watkins had two very good chances early on in the game but was unable to find a way past David Button.

Fulham took the lead midway through the first-half. Norwich skipper Russell Martin diverted the ball into his own net from a low centre into the box.

The hosts then began to control the game but Norwich were able to weather the storm, with Angus Gunn making a couple of good stops to keep it at 1-0.

Wes Hoolahan and Nelson Oliveira were both brought off the bench in the second half and combined to great effect to level the scores.

Hoolahan clipped a ball over the top to Oliveira, who held off the defender before finishing low into the back of the net.

Following his goal, Oliveira took his shirt off and pointed to his name right in front of Farke on the touchline.

Speaking to The Pink’Un, Farke said this about the forward:

I don’t go too deep with it. He is a Portuguese guy and very emotional and passionate.

When I think back to my own career I was angry when I didn’t play and if I scored I would show my shirt to the coach and even throw it at his feet. For that, it was really kind of him. I know when he comes on he can score. If he wants to give me a sign that is okay. He had a very good performance in the final 20 minutes when he came on. He is a good guy, a good character and sometimes emotions burn in him a little bit. No problems, I am really content with Nelson and his movement.
