Fulham captain Tom Cairney has sent a personal message following his side's dramatic 1-0 win against Swansea City on Wednesday night.

Aleksandar Mitrovic saw a late penalty saved before netting an even later winner to keep the Whites' play-off hopes alive, and it was a result which clearly pleased Cairney.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the 29-year-old, who was back to his best at Craven Cottage, wrote: "Anything better than a last minute winner 🤷‍♂️😃".

Scott Parker's side were well on top during the opening half an hour with Anthony Knockaert, Cavaleiro and Bobby Reid all seeing efforts saved by Swans' shot-stopper Freddie Woodman.

Andre Ayew and Jake Bidwell came the closest to finding the net for the visitors but it always looked like it would be Fulham who nicked a result, if anyone was going to.

But when Mitrovic saw his 88th minute penalty saved by Woodman, after Neeskens Kebano was fouled by Connor Roberts, it looked like that would be that - only for the Serbian to fire home a brilliant header in the fourth minute of stoppage time to claim all three points.

The verdict

Having Cairney back to his best could be the difference between Fulham winning promotion and not.

Over the last few weeks, he seemed bereft of confidence in midfield and probably needed to be withdrawn at one point, but he was back to his best on Wednesday night.

He kept everything ticking over for the Whites and barely misplaced a pass all game, always looking to go forward when he got the opportunity.

He was the key on many occasions earlier in the season and fans will now be hoping he can return to that form.
