Fulham 2-0 Leeds United: Fulham secure a place in the FA quarter-final
Fulham reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for the first time since 2010 after defeating Leeds United in an all-Premier League tie at Craven Cottage.
Special goals by Portugal midfielder Joao Palhinha and Manor Solomon continued the feel-good factor at the club, who sit sixth in the Premier League after last season's promotion from the Championship under Portuguese boss Silva, who took charge in July 2021.
They are now just two wins from a first FA Cup final since 1975.
"Marco Silva has been excellent," said Richards, who was at the game as One's live coverage. "At the start of the season we asked 'are Fulham going to go down?'.
"He's not only stabilised that but he has got a way of playing that suits the players he has got in the team - and he can mix it up.
"I just think the story of Fulham... he has got to be up for manager of the year."
"How amazing would that be? It would be great reward for the fans and this manager who has done so well this season," he added.
