Bristol City goalkeeper Dan Bentley has revealed that Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic is the toughest forward he's come up against in the Championship.

Bentley, 26, swapped Brentford for Bristol City last summer. He'd been an ever-present in the Bees first-team for three seasons before heading to Ashton Gate, as David Raya made his move from Blackburn to Brentford.

He's so far played in all but two of his side's Championship games this season, and has proved one of Lee Johnson's better signings with some credible performances throughout the course of the campaign.

Today, Bristol City ran a Twitter Q&A with the stopper, and one question was; 'who is the best striker you've faced in the Championship?'

He replied:

"Tough question again, but I'd probably go Aleksandar Mitrovic. He's always a handful, you always know that you're going to be in for a tough day when you play against him. There's quite a few other names but he was probably the one who stuck out most."

The Serb has blown away the Championship, with 23 goals in 34 league appearances and 11 goals for Serbia, the 25-year-old is already on 35 goals for club and country in the 2019/20 season.

Fulham's last game was at Ashton Gate, but Mitrovic couldn't find the net - Tom Cairney salvaged a late point after Nahki Wells' second-half opener, finishing 1-1.

Bentley probably isn't alone in saying that Mitrovic is the best striker he's faced in the second-tier. We've not seen someone be so prolific in the Championship for years, but Mitrovic is a truly world class goal-scorer.

The verdict

Fulham have a world-beater in Mitrovic, and he's arguably the reason why they currently sit in 3rd-place of the Championship table.

Bentley meanwhile has been a solid member of Johnson's first-team this year, and Bristol City could easily snatch a spot in the top-six when the season resumes.
