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.

OVER!! Castagne's cross into the box for Vardy is headed half-clear by Fulham, and Perez recovers it before shooting on the turn and sending the ball just over the crossbar!

Cairney puts great pressure on Castagne and Tielemans to win a bouncing ball on the edge of Leicester's box, and the Fulham captain finds Robinson. He races into the area and hooks the ball back to the centre, but Castagne blocks it away for the Foxes.

WIDE!!! He's missed it!!! Cairney plays a fantastic ball forward which splits the Leicester defence as Wilson makes the run in behind. Ward rushes out and the substitute beats him with a chip, but the ball bounces wide of the empty net and rolls past the post!

Strap in, we're set for SEVEN minutes of added time, which is more than enough for a now-dominant Leicester to find a goal here!

Perez darts down the byline and looks to have won a corner off a Ream deflection, but to his and the home crowd's anger, the referee gives a goal kick!
