Fulham 2-0 Hull City: Fulham move top of early season Championship table

Aleksandar Mitrovic and Fabio Carvalho both scored for the third consecutive game as Fulham moved top of the Championship with a comfortable win against Hull.

Mitrovic headed home from a corner midway through the first half, with teenager Carvalho doubling the Whites' advantage 10 minutes later.

Fulham were unable to add to their tally, but were rarely troubled by the Tigers, who slid to their third consecutive defeat.

The victory maintained an unbeaten start to the season for Marco Silva's side and put them ahead of West Brom and Stoke on goal difference.

The Tigers began brightly as Greg Docherty tested Paulo Gazzaniga with a 25-yard drive, while Josh Magennis should have done better with a header that flew straight at the Fulham keeper.
