Fulham secured an important victory on home soil on Wednesday night, as they overcame Swansea City 1-0 at Craven Cottage to move back into third place in the Championship table.

Despite missing an 88th minute penalty, top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic once again proved to be the match winner for Fulham, heading in Aboubakar Kamara's cross from the right flank in stoppage time to break the hearts of the 1,500 travelling Swansea fans.

It was the Serbian's 23rd league goal of the season.

The Cottagers had their fair share of possession during the course of the match, and imposed themselves on the visitors for large spells.

However, Scott Parker's side will also feel fortunate that each and every one of Swansea's penalty shouts were turned down by referee Tim Robinson.

The result also brings an end to Fulham's three-game run without a win in the Championship.

Attacking midfielder Neeskens Kebano came on as a 78th minute substitute in place of Ivan Cavaleiro, making his tenth appearance of the season.

The 27-year-old took to Twitter to praise Aleksandar Mitrovic's contribution, sending a positive message to his teammate:

The Verdict

It is clear to see that Kebano as well as the whole team appreciated Mitrovic's contribution last night, as Fulham got a valuable three points.

The Serbian has been the side's standout performer this season, and Scott Parker will be hoping that he continues to score crucial goals in the run-in to give Fulham the best chance of promotion.

Kebano himself has been a bit-part figure at Fulham this term, managing just one start.
