Mitrovic hits winner as Fulham beat Sunderland to go second
Fulham came from behind to secure a 2-1 home victory over relegated Sunderland and move up to second place in the Championship.
The Cottagers -- owned by Shahid Khan,wholesale jerseys cheap nfl the U.S. businessman who this week launched a near ￡1 billion bid to buy Wembley -- recovered after falling behind to a 28th-minute goal from Joel Asoro.
Lucas Piazon levelled just before the break after the visitors had strong claims for a penalty turned down, before Aleksandar Mitrovic won it with his 12th goal since arriving on loan from Newcastle in January.
Victory moved the Cottagers two points above Cardiff, with the Welsh club facing Hull on Saturday, ensuring the fight to secure automatic promotion will go into the final game of the season.
Fulham came into the game on the back of a 22-game unbeaten league run dating back to the December loss against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
Form suggested there was little chance of a repeat, but after initially struggling to move through the gears in the victory at Millwall seven days previously, Slavisa Jokanovic's side again started slowly.

Ovie Ejaria went down under a challenge from wholesale cheap nfl jersey china Tim Ream inside the home penalty area but claims for a penalty were ignored by referee Peter Bankes.
And Fulham made the most of the reprieve by breaking swiftly down the right hand flank from where Ryan Fredericks delivered a low cross that was turned home by Piazon from close range.
The hosts stepped up the tempo after the break with Mitrovic threatening to add to his 11 goals for the club with a shot that drew a fine save from Jason Steele.
And the striker finally found a way past the Sunderland keeper with a header from Stefan Johansen's floated free kick, despite appeals for offside from the visitors.
