Fulham boss Silva: Mitrovic proved himself Prem class against Liverpool

Fulham boss Marco Silva is delighted seeing Aleksandar Mitrovic off the mark.

The striker scored twice in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Saturday.

The Serbian striker broke the Championship scoring record last season, registering 43 goals in 44 games, helping Silva's side to promotion for the third time since joining in January 2018.

"He is a Premier League striker. We have to understand his profile and it is my job to take the best from him," said Silva.

"I want to see him keep playing with a smile on his face."

On the game with Jurgen Klopp's Reds, Silva added: "It showed us that we are going in the right direction. Liverpool is Liverpool, they are world class. Everyone felt we matched them."
