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.

March looks to burst past Tete through the middle but can't get past the Fulham defender, and Trossard picks up the pieces trying to create space to shoot, but he too is thwarted by Robinson!

If anything, that goal will hopefully shake some life into this off-colour Brighton side. They need at least one goal now to preserve their unbeaten record!

March picks the pocket of Ream and bursts down the right. The cross finds no-one, and Mwepu collects on the opposing byline. But his cut-back is cleared by De Cordova-Reid!
