Mitrovic bags a double as Fulham seal Premier League return

Jubilant Fulham fans spilled on to the pitch at Craven Cottage after Marco Silva’s men sealed promotion to the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Preston.

Red-hot Aleksandar Mitrovic netted twice to take his Championship tally to 40 for the season, while Liverpool-bound Fabio Carvalho weighed in with the other goal. 
All three goals came in the first half in what became a routine game for the league leaders. 
Mitrovic opened the scoring in only the ninth minute, Carvalho doubled the advantage in the 34th minute and his in-form team-mate added another before half-time.
Former Cottagers winger Clive Walker said: “I don’t think I’ve seen [on pitch celebrations] to this sort of level for a long time. 
“The football has been terrific and the goals have been great, why not celebrate? I’m glad to see they’re allowed to celebrate. 
“Enjoy this moment because it’s a fabulous time.”
Speaking on BBC Radio London, Walker was also full of praise for 27-year-old hotshot Mitrovic. 
He added: “He’ll never forget and the Fulham fans will never forget what he’s done this season. 
“People around the country will remember — that’s a lot of goals — and fair play to him. 
“He seems a different player to what he was in the Premier League and I’m hoping he can take that forward. He has a very modern style and he was terrific tonight.”
