He becomes the first person to score 32 goals in a Championship season with 14 games to go.
Managers Reaction
Fulham’s Marco Silva: “Congratulations to him [Mitrovic]. The numbers speak for themselves. Thirty-three goals at the end of February, with 14 more games to play, it’s fantastic. What I like about him is he’s always demanding more and more and more. He knows that from tomorrow I’ll demand more and more from him. Mitro’s numbers reflect our philosophy and the players have bought into it. We’re creating and building something important.”
Peterborough caretaker Matthew Etherington: “It’s been a tough three days, it’s been an experience, to say the least, but in terms of what we’ve asked them and in terms of the shape of the team, I can’t ask for anymore. I thought there were some outstanding performances tonight, against a really good Fulham side. I didn’t want to rip it all up and do something totally different, we didn’t have a lot of time to prepare, so I used the formation the manager previously had prepared, but I thought I would just mix up the personnel. I’m proud if I’m being honest, it’s an experience I’ll look back on. My ultimate goal is to be a full-time manager at Peterborough.”
