Fulham Cairney 35, Mitrovic 81 2

Blackburn 0

FULHAM manager Scott Parker praised his side’s bravery as they stuck to his passing creed.

A superb long-range Tom Cairney goal helped Fulham record their first win of the fledgling season. Aleksandar Mitrovic sealed victory with a late second.

Parker said: ‘There was a bit of edginess and nerves at the beginning from us, but at the same time the boys were also very brave.

‘The way I want us to play comes with a certain risk and a world-class strike from Tom eased things for us. Last week at Barnsley we took the easy option at times. As a team we’re not going to win football matches that way.’
