    Fulham's game plan seems simple, cross it to Mitrovic enough times and let him do his job.
  • 19'
    Another header from Mitrovic blocked, if he keeps this up one's bound to go in eventually.
  • 18'
    Fulham should be worried that Grealish has so much space to keep on making runs like that.
