MITROVIC WRAPS UP RECORD IN ROUT

- GEORGE GRANT

ALEKSANDAR Mitrovic took his Sky Bet Championsh­ip goal tally for the season to 43 as Fulham sealed the title in devastatin­g fashion with a 7-0 mauling of Luton at Craven Cottage. Captain Tom Cairney opened the scoring in the 29th minute — the Cottagers’ 100th league goal of the campaign — and Kenny Tete made it two ten minutes later to ensure the hosts, who sealed promotion to the Premier League on April 19, were in control at the break. The floodgates opened in the second half with goals from Fabio Carvalho, Bobby DecordovaR­eid, substitute Jean Michael Seri and a brace from Mitrovic — confirming a record haul in the second tier for the Serbia striker. Manager Marco Silva said: ‘Seeing Mitro break the record is amazing and he deserved it. Apart from the quality of his goals, he’s a very good profession­al.’
