Prior to kick-off, Silva joined the TNT Sports team pitchside to discuss his new contract.
However, as he spoke to Lynsey Hipgrave, Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole, the sprinklers behind them turned on.
Silva was soon being sprayed with water as he cowered out of the way to the amusement of the presenting team.
Ferdinand joked: “Sack the groundsman, where is he?” before Silva was able to continue his answer.
The Fulham boss penned a new deal through to the summer of 2026 last month.
His extension comes after he turned down an approach from the Saudi Pro League during pre-season.
Before he was soaked by the sprinklers, he had explained it was an “easy” decision to commit his future to the Cottagers.
Silva joined the Cottagers in 2021 following spells with Hull, Watford and Everton.
