Fulham manager Ranieri confident Mitrovic will hit goals trail

Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri is confident Aleksandar Mitrovic will soon hit the goals trail.

Mitrovic has been on target seven times in the Cottagers' return to the Premier League but has failed to hit the target for the last six matches.

"Aleksandar's confidence is good. Of course for a goalscorer, goals are life. But he's feeling positive," the Italian said.

"He played very well against Wolves. He was unlucky and that's the life of a striker - some days momentum goes well and on others its worse. He's ready to start scoring again.

"I want the team always to be together and he made a very good sacrifice. He closed the space and was ready to counter attack.

"It's important that the team continues to create the chances. He didn't make mistakes against Wolves, he just had bad luck."
