ONE GREAT SEASON CROWNED / MITROVIĆ WITH FULHAM IN PREMIER LEAGUE!

Our national team player, Aleksandar Mitrović crowned a great season with Fulham with qualification in the Premier League! After 26 scores, the highest number in the first five leagues of English football, and due to a muscle injury, Mitrović could not play in the play-off semifinals with Cardiff, and because of the same reason entered the pitch in the final match with Brentford only in 90+1 min. “Mitro-goal” still managed to assist the double scorer Bryan in the extra time (117’) with the second goal, and complete a great victory of west London team – 2:1 and their comeback in the Premier League.

Breaking moment was in 105’ when Brentford goalkeeper David Raya made a terrible mistake. Fulham’s left-back was left an empty space by Raya, so he sent the ball with a free-kick from 35 m right in the near post corner and brought great joy to his club. An interesting moment happened right after the final whistle, when all Fulham players were celebrating. Aleksandar Mitrović approached the Spanish goalkeeper with the idea to comfort him because of the mistake that practically decided this match worth EUR 200 million. It was certainly a nice gesture.
