Aleksandar Mitrovic notched his 11th and 12th league goals this season in an eviscerating striker’s performance to slam the door shut on west London rivals Queens Park Rangers and sit top of the league’s top scorers list.
The Serbian was in a ruthless mood as he pushed, pulled and wound up his opponents all afternoon — and struck two dainty headers for good measure.
If Fulham are to navigate this minefield of a league, this man in-form will be gold dust. QPR’s attacking promise came through Chris Willock; they will hope his intent continues.

Fifth and sixth respectively and with west London derby bragging right on the line, the Cottagers and Rangers were each here to prove their top-six credentials.
This was particularly true for Marco Silva’s side, who were embarrassed 4-1 by Coventry before the international break.
The opener on 10 minutes was classic Mitrovic. As right back Denis Odoi whipped in a floated cross, the ball sat in the air for what felt like an eternity.
The predatory instincts of this in-form striker came to light; he commanded his way in front of defender Robert Dickie with little regard and lightly chested the ball down.
