FULHAM WERE promoted back to the Premier League on Tuesday with four games to spare as Aleksandar Mitrovic scored twice in a 3-0 win over Preston at Craven Cottage.
It is the fifth consecutive season the Cottagers have changed divisions as they were also promoted in 2018 and 2020 before being relegated in their first season back in the top flight.
However, in contrast to their need to go via the playoffs two years ago, Marco Silva’s men have been the best side in the Championship by a distance this season.
Mitrovic has been the major reason why and the Serb took his tally to an incredible 40 goals in 40 league games this season with a first-half double.
Liverpool-bound Fabio Carvalho was also on target as Fulham also closed in on sealing the Championship title.
They lead Bournemouth by nine points with five games left for the Cherries to catch them.

Watch him get 2 goals in 38 next season
….awaits the inevitable relagation next year. Those parachute payments are a joke.
@IrishOwl: Totally. Think they had a lad on the bench who cost 27 million and PNE have never spent 2 million on anyone.
Well done lad. Up Serbia!
I’d honestly think it be worth taking the gamble on him for Dortmund. Top finisher, a bully, and would get even better service than he gets at Fulham who will ultimately just do the same as ever – spend £100m and go down the subsequent season. Can’t see much between him and Haller who are probably the lead candidates to replace Haaland (outside chances of Schick/Kalajdzic/Jovic, and Adayemi will play wide when he signs I reckon).
@Ultan Corcoran: right yeah and do you do anything else in your spare time ?
