Fulham consolidated their place in the Championship play-off places with a dominant victory over leaders Wolves.
Fulham, unbeaten in the league in 2018, began well and led when winger Ryan Sessegnon, 17, tapped in after Aleksandar Mitrovic’s shot was parried.
Ivan Cavaleiro twice tested Fulham keeper Marcus Bettinelli but Mitrovic fired in a low second from 20 yards.
Stefan Johansen almost curled in a third before Diogo Jota blazed over Wolves’ best chance from close range.
The Cottagers are unbeaten in 12 games and have now won eight in a row at Craven Cottage, lifting them to within five points of an automatic promotion spot.
Slaviša Jokanović told the club website that his team “played a very good game” to defeat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 on a chilly night at Craven Cottage.
“I definitely believe this was one of the best games we had at this level,” Jokanović said. “My team played a very good game.”
“Wolves are a strong, fast team,” he noted. “We showed we can play against them. We came through adversity. We were brave, with great attitudes.”
“We tried to not give them any space to move and at the end of the day we scored the necessary goals. Besides a good chance for them at the end of the game, we controlled the match—especially in the second half—and we must be satisfied.”
“The whole team played a very good game. But Mitrović opens up different options for us”
“He scored a goal, he worked in the right direction for the team, and he held the ball up many times. He worked well off the ball too. He must be satisfied with his performance, just like we are satisfied with his performance.”
Still, the Head Coach was insistent on making sure it was the whole squad that was recognised. “I want to underline that it’s the whole team that is working well,” he said.
