Aleksandar Mitrovic: "This is the reason I came here"

Mitrovic: "This is the reason I came here"

Aleksandar Mitrovic said that he was "so proud and so happy" after helping Fulham reach the Championship playoff final.

The Cottagers entered the second leg of their Championship playoff semi-final trailing 1-0 to Derby County, but turned things around on home soil to record a 2-1 aggregate success.

Mitrovic joined Fulham on loan from Newcastle United during the January transfer window, and the centre-forward has netted 12 Championship goals in the second half of the campaign.

The 23-year-old has said that experiencing such occasions was 'the reason he decided to join Fulham'.

"This is the reason I came here. It is unbelievable. I think we deserve to get promoted as we play good football and created chances. I am so proud and so happy," Mitrovic told Sky Sports News.

Fulham will face either Aston Villa or Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final on May 26.
