Fulham 3-0 Preston: The Cottagers are BACK in the Premier League as Fabio Carvalho's strike and another Aleksandar Mitrovic brace hands them a dominant win over Ryan Lowe's men and seals promotion with four games to spare

The familiar elation of Championship promotion for Fulham - only this time they took the easy route.

Their last two elevations to the Premier League have been accompanied by the nail-biting tension of the play-offs. This time they have dominated the division, galloping clear from mid-January.

Marco Silva’s side got over the line with this rampant win over Preston. Aleksandar Mitrovic scored a double to move within two of equalling Guy Whittingham’s post-1992 second-tier scoring record of 42 goals in a season.

Fabio Carvalho was also on target at a jubilant Craven Cottage, with the ‘olés’ that greeted every Fulham pass starting well before half-time.
