Roy Hodgson Compares In-Form Fulham Striker to Premier League Legend Ahead of Play-Off Final

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson boldly claimed that Aleksandar Mitroviu0107's impressive display against Derby County last week reminded him of the performances of Premier League legend, Alan Shearer.

The 23-year-old striker was instrumental in helping Fulham overturn a one-goal deficit to book their place in the Championship play-off final, with goals from Ryan Sessegnon and Denis Odoi booking the Cottagers place at Wembley.

But ex-England boss Hodgson was eager to speak in glowing terms about Mitroviu0107 in particular, insisting that the Serbia international put in one of the 'best displays' from a target man in recent memory.
