Aleksandar Mitrovic appears to be enjoying his football at the moment, having scored more goals in four Championship games for Fulham than he managed at St James Park all last season.

The striker struck for league goals for the Magpies, but his brace last night for Fulham took his tally to five in four games.

The Cottagers made short work of promotion hopefuls Sheffield United and strengthen Fulham's claims for a return to the Premier League.

Mitrovic cost Newcastle £13m for Anderlecht and he seems to be thriving at Craven Cottage.

In the pre-match build up yesterday he spoke of how he was enjoying his football now, more so than under Rafa Benitez last season.

Fulham are now eight points clear inside the play-off race, five points away from the final automatic promotion spot in the second tier.

On the other hand, Newcastle are just two points outside the relegation spots in the Premier League, struggling for goals.

Magpies fans were quick to take to Twitter to voice their concern at having a free-scoring striker out on loan.
