Menace Aleksandar Mitrovic brings his firepower to the fore as teammate Tim Ream admits he has the bruises to prove what a handful the Fulham striker is in training following 3-0 mauling of Stoke in the Championship at Craven Cottage

Fulham captain Tim Ream knows exactly how his rival Championship defenders will feel following Aleksandar Mitrovic's decision to extend his stay at Craven Cottage.

The Serbia international had a troubled time in the Premier League last season, finding the net just three times as the Cottagers slipped straight back into the second tier.

But Mitrovic, 26, who signed a new five-year deal on Friday, has been revived under incoming boss Marco Silva and struck his fourth goal of the season on Saturday to help secure the win that ensures the Cottagers head into the international break at the head of the table.
