Slavisa Jokanovic admits Fulham cannot afford to continue conceding early goals. The Cottagers fell behind inside two minutes for the second successive week during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Watford.

Aleksandr Mitrovic equalised in the 78th minute, salvaging a point for the west London club, and putting the Serbian joint-first in the race for the Premier League golden boot.

After conceding inside two minutes against Manchester City the previous week, Jokanovic was well aware of how much his side need to shore up at the start of games.

"Yes, we must get out of this kind of situation, definitely," he said.

"If you ask me how, defend the first two minutes better than we defend the last two games.

"We can be affected by this situation, it's not easy to arrive (into games), but we must know where we are and be focused from the beginning to the end."
