Fulham goalscorer Mitrovic hails victory at Crystal Palace

Aleksandar Mitrovic hailed Fulham's performance for their 3-0 win at Crystal Palace.

Bobby Decordova-Reid, Tim Ream and Mitrovic scored, with Palace overpowered by their London rivals as they ended the game with nine men.

Tyrick Mitchell was shown a red card for a foul on Kenny Tete just three minutes after his side went behind, and James Tomkins followed him before the hour.

Mitrovic insists his side didn't rely on the red cards to get a comprehensive three points.

"We played against a good side, of course they had two red cards," he said. "Even before the first, we dominated and scored the goal. The second red card made it easy but we played really well all over the pitch.

"We tried to put more pressure on them. We had to manage their intensity, then the second goal made it even more easy. I'll take one goal and two assists all day, but the most important thing was the three points."
