MITROVIC: CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD BREAKER

Tue May 03, 2022 1:06 am

Aleksander Mitrovic equalled Guy Whittingham's 1992-93 record of 42 goals in a 46-game second-tier season with Fulham's fourth goal of the night - then went on to break it

Record-breaking Aleksandar Mitrovic reached 43 goals in a season by scoring twice as Fulham clinched the Championship title in style with a 7-0 win over Luton Town.

Tom Cairney scored the team's 100th goal of the campaign with a thunderous first-half strike and a thumping long-range shot from Kenny Tete doubled the tally, as Luton crumbled under injuries and Fulham's dominance.

Fabio Carvalho made it three after the break, before Mitrovic scored his record-equalling 42nd goal of the campaign.

Bobby Decordova-Reid and Jean-Michael Seri extended the lead, before Mitrovic tapped in his second to set a new record for English league goals in a season post-1992 and Fulham's title celebrations began.

The defeat was Luton's heaviest of the season and sees them drop down a place to sixth. While a place in the play-offs is still in their hands, they need to beat Reading to ensure Middlesbrough cannot overtake them.


A polarising character, no one can doubt Mitrovic' is a class act in the Championship but can he now prove himself at the top table?
