Fulham striker Mitrovic on Sunderland jeers: I love it! I'm a Geordie boy

Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic says he enjoyed the banter with Sunderland fans last night.

Mitrovic again impressed as Fulham won their FA Cup replay.

The former Newcastle striker was regularly barracked by Sunderland fans and said: "I loved the reaction.

"I'm a Geordie boy!

"They played really, really well. Especially in the second half where they put a lot of pressure on us, but we conceded two wasted goals.

"But in the end we did what we had to, so we are really happy with the result and our overall performance."
