Aleksandar Mitrovic admits he still hasn’t really recovered from the foot ligament problem that has threatened to disrupt his sensational start to the season – but the Serbian striker was delighted to be back amongst the goals as Fulham came from behind twice to draw with Bournemouth this afternoon.

The Fulham number nine was clearly struggling to last the full ninety minutes as the Whites looked to force a late winner against the Cherries but Mitrovic was unable to add to his second half penalty, missing a couple of good chances to grab all three points for Marco Silva’s side. He told Reuters after the final whistle:

“I’ve been in a lot of pain. Painkillers helped a lot. I still haven’t completely recovered, but I managed to get the goal today. I had one or two chances where I could have done better, but that’s football. The main target at home is three points, no matter who we play. We conceded sloppy goals and I think that cost us the game. In the end we managed to get the draw.”
