QPR 0-2 Fulham: Aleksandar Mitrovic scores in each half-half to take his tally to 37 in 36 league games this season as visitors move a step closer to Premier League return

Aleksandar Mitrovic’s took his season tally to a remarkable 37 league goals as Fulham moved one step closer to securing their return to the Premier League.

After firing his side ahead in the 14th minute the Serbia forward then wrapped up the win with a second half penalty that leaves the Cottagers needing the runaway nine points from their remaining eight games to confirm promotion.

For Mitrovic, those eight games also offer the possibility of eclipsing Guy Whittingham’s record 42 goals in the second tier in the Premier League era.

While Marco Silva and his players are in sight of their target, a fifth defeat in six games dealt another blow to QPR’s hopes of reaching the players.
