Don't rule us out! Felix Magath backs Fulham for Premiership survival despite Spurs defeat
FELIX MAGATH is confident that Fulham can survive their relegation scrap despite suffering another crushing defeat in the Premier League.
The Cottagers succumbed to a 3-1 loss at White Hart Lane against Tottenham, leaving them cemented in the drop zone with just three games remaining.
The west London outfit trail struggling Norwich and safety by two points, but are well aware that the Canaries have a game in-hand, albeit against title-chasers Liverpool.
Magath's side also have the worst goal-difference in the top-flight with -42, but the German, who famously rescued Bundesliga sides Stuttgart and Wolfsburg from relegation, is adamant his men can shock the league and retain their Premiership status.
We have to win our home games and I think we can manage it
He said: "(We were) quite good, but not good enough; Tottenham were the better team and won.
"If we had got any points here, it would have been an extra point for us.
