Aleksandr Mitrovic continued his excellent start to the season as Fulham grabbed a 2-1 win over Brighton at Craven Cottage on Tuesday.

The Serbian striker grabbed his fifth goal in as many games to put Fulham ahead just after half-time.

An own goal from Lewis Dunk made it 2-0 for the home side.

Brighton got back into the game when Alexis Mac Allister converted from the penalty spot, following a Bobby De Cordova-Reid foul on Pervis Estupinan.

It was Mitrovic's 100th goal for Fulham, and Cottagers boss Marco Silva was full of praise for his star player when speaking after the game.

Silva told BT Sport: "He was unbelievable. Not just because he scored.

"All strikers need goals and you could see after he scored it was a boost for him and he was everywhere.

"He was good on the ball but off the ball he was unbelievable. He is not jsut a goalscorer for us, he is much more than that."

Recently promoted Fulham are now in sixth position with eight points, while Brighton remain in fourth on ten points.
