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.

Robinson and Castagne get into a tangle down the left but the Fulham left-back comes away with the box, surging to the byline before crossing. It's over the heads of everyone before being recovered by Reed, whose ball back into the centre is headed away by Amartey.

Fulham race forward on the counter and Pereira has it down the left flank. He crosses into the box, where Mitrovic looks to turn Faes upon receiving the ball, but he loses out to the Foxes defender and Faes clears his lines.

Reed takes an accidental elbow from Faes in the air, and the Fulham midfielder is down in the middle of the pitch. He's tested for concussion before returning to the pitch, and is deemed okay to continue.

CHANCE!!! What a miss that was!!! Tielemans does brilliantly to jink in and away from Palhinha down the right, before crossing into the danger area. It beats everyone as the ball bounces at the back post, but the arriving Perez can only put it over the top despite it looking easier to score! That's easily Leicester's best chance so far, and one they may regret not putting away!

Forward come Leicester in response and Castagne whips a good cross into the box. Ream looks to hook it clear, but nearly beats his own goalkeeper as the ball skews behind him and out for a Foxes corner!
