Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Live action from Craven Cottage as Brighton look to continue their good start to the new season against newly-promoted Fulham
Aleksandar Mitrovic struck again for Fulham as they brought Brighton’s unbeaten start to the season to an end with a 2-1 win at Craven Cottage.
The Serbia forward had already exceeded his tally of three in Fulham’s last Premier League season and he netted his fifth of the new campaign shortly after half-time to break the deadlock.
The hosts added another almost immediately afterwards when Lewis Dunk turned an Andreas Pereira cross into his own net.
Last time the sides met in the top flight during the 2020-21 season, they played out two goalless draws and they looked on course to do so again when the first half finished without a breakthrough, before Mitrovic’s opener.
The result leaves Fulham with eight points after an impressive start to the campaign which kicked off with a surprising draw against Liverpool on the first weekend.

The Seagulls’ new signing Julio Enciso is on the bench, and will be hoping to sink his teeth into the action if introduced during the game.
