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.

SAVED!!!! Leno rescues Fulham again!!! Good one-touch play from Tielemans and Perez sends Vardy searing through on goal, but his shot for the near corner is parried behind by the goalkeeper for a Leicester corner!

CHANCE!! Castagne wins the ball from Mitrovic after the goalscorer beats Amartey on the run, but his back-pass to Ward is woeful and Mitrovic nearly intercepts before the goalkeeper rushes a clearance!

WHAT A SAVE!!! Thomas fires a pass forward which is perfectly weighted for Barnes, running through on goal. He latches onto the ball and looks to chip it over Leno, but the goalkeeper stands tall and parries it away before gathering possession!
