Leicester 0-1 Fulham: Aleksandar Mitrovic scores again as in-form Cottagers notch huge win

Aleksandar Mitrovic boosted Fulham’s European charge as the Cottagers downed Leicester City with a narrow win.

The striker fired Marco Silva’s side to a third-straight win after a 1-0 Premier League victory at the King Power Stadium. It left Fulham seventh in the Premier League on 28 points - the same amount they were relegated with in 2021 - and level with Liverpool.

The Cottagers are in dreamland, in contrast to the Foxes with boss Brendan Rodgers’ consistent reality checks still ringing true after a third-straight defeat.

Rodgers has always been insistent this season would be one of struggle and his side have reverted to their early form which saw his own position called into question. Youri Tielemans rattled the crossbar during an improved second half but it was Fulham’s fast start which ultimately sealed the points.

Another Fulham cross comes in from the right, but it's headed away by Castagne to Tielemans. He loses the ball on the edge of his own box though, and Palhinha fires it goalwards on the half-volley, sending his effort a yard or so wide of the far post.

The Cottagers find another yawning hole down the left side of Leicester's defence, which De Cordova-Reid gleefully exploits. He squares for Mitrovic in the box, but the goalscorer can only scuff his shot from 10 yards!

Mitrovic has now scored five goals in his last six away Premier League appearances, with Fulham winning the last three away games when he's featured. Only one Fulham player has ever ended on the winning side in four consecutive away Premier League appearances - Diomansy Kamara doing so between April 2008 and April 2009.

Some intricate play down the right from Fulham allows Reed to cross into the box, and Mitrovic's header takes a deflection off Amartey on its way behind for a Cottagers corner!
