Former Newcastle United striker Aleksandar Mitrovic was happy to get one over Sunderland in the FA Cup replay at the Stadium of Light. The former Magpies' striker came off the bench at half-time and set-up Andreas Pereira for Fulham's second of the game.
Mitrovic and the goal scorer were introduced by Marco Silva at the break to a chorus of boos from the home support, with the Black Cats growing into game prior to half-time. The Cottagers boss was keen to put the tie to bed and they would narrowly edge out the Championship side but had to avoid a second-half scare from Tony Mowbray's side.
Sunderland pulled two goals back through Jack Clarke and Jewison Bennette, with the hosts giving a good account of themselves. Mitrovic himself praised the Wearsiders for making the game a difficult one for them.
