Fulham manager Scott Parker is standing by his under fire striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The centre-forward had a miserable game against Sheffield United in the Premier League at the weekend.

He missed a penalty and spurned two very good chances to get his team the win.

He also conceded a late penalty to compound his misery.

"Mitro has had a tough day, there is no denying that," said the Fulham boss after the 1-1 draw.

"He will be the first to admit that, with a missed penalty and two other missed chances which he normally puts in the net.

"In sport, sometimes you have bad days, but I have no doubt he will react in a positive way and come back firing."
