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.

WIDE!!! Tielemans takes the ball on the turn and beats Palhinha before trying his luck again. He drills a low shot from 25 yards, which is powerful but rolls to the wrong side of Leno's left-hand post!

SAVED!! The ball comes back out from Tielemans' woodwork-striking shot, and Perez recovers it. He steps inside and shoots from the edge of the area, but Leno gets down and does well to hold the ball!

OFF THE BAR!!! Tielemans' free-kick strikes the wall and goes behind for a corner. The ball is whipped in, but headed clear, and the Leicester captain chests it down before firing a dipping volley from the edge of the box, which beats everyone before crashing back off the crossbar!
