Fulham climbed to the Premier League with Mitrovic’s goals

Fulham will return next season to play in the Premier League after beating Preston North End (3-0) and ensure, with four games to play, automatic promotion to the top flight of English football.

The team from Craven Cottage, on the banks of the Thames, closed out their promotion in an almost perfect season, where they dominated the Championship with authority and have been undisputed leaders since the 25th of the matchday.

The ‘Cottagers’, with unstoppable Aleksandar Mitrovic, who after his brace today in the 9th and 41st minutes amassed 40 Championship goals, a historic record for the competition, were not allowed to escape the second bullet to prove promotion after falling in Derby County on Friday.

Marco Silva, the climbing technician

Led by Marco Silva, former coach of Everton and Watford, Fulham led Bournemouth by nine points and Carlos Corberán’s Huddersfield Town by thirteen, marking third place, the first to give access to the playoffs.

This is Fulham’s third promotion to the Premier League, having been relegated last year, since the 2017-2018 campaign. To go back to the last time Fulham saved the Premier category, you have to go back to the 15 years they were in the First Division between 1999 and 2014.

Fabio Carvalho, another star

In addition to Mitrovic’s goals, which will once again have the chance to stand in the Premier League, where he played for Newcastle United, one of Fulham’s most famous figures is Fabio Carvalho, a young Portuguese from the academy who will soon sign in Liverpool. in the past winter market. Now he scored the second goal in the 34th minute.

A paperwork problem has prevented the move, but, according to England, the operation will close at around eight million euros this summer. Carvalho, 19, has scored nine goals and provided seven assists this season.
