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.

Vardy looks to create space in the box but runs into traffic and loses the ball. It's skewed out to Ndidi, who fires a high-volley towards goal, but the looping shot is easily catchable for Leno in the Fulham goal.

CHANCE!!! Fulham flood forward as the ball is spread wide to Willian. He links up with Robinson, who squares for Pereira, but the playmaker's shot on the stretch is blocked! Willian follows up, but sends a wayward rebound wide of the target!
