Mitrovic returns in style with header to take lead v Liverpool

Aleksandar Mitrovic is a natural goalscorer at Craven Cottage. In Fulham's return to the Premier League and, after dominating a large part of the first half, they took the lead against last season's runners-up. 

It was, of course, the Serbian striker who scored the first goal of the season at Craven Cottage. Last season, he scored 43 goals in 44 matches in the Championship and, in the Premier League, he netted in the first match. 

On a counter, Kebano got the ball on the right hand side. He waited until he had Tete in support. Tete then got to the by-line before sending a beautiful ball to the back stick. 

Mitrovic was there to rise above Alexander-Arnold and make it 1-0 to the home side, much to the home fans' delight.
