Aleksandar Mitrovic’s late winner ensured Fulham took all three points versus Swansea at Craven Cottage on Wednesday night. Scott Parker’s side had missed a penalty earlier on when the Serbian’s strike was saved by Freddie Woodman in the visitor’s goal.
The goal came from Aboubakar Kamara’s cross deep into stoppage time and as a result, Fulham find themselves back in the third position, five points behind Leeds United in second.
Who was your Man of the Match?
Cairney
Bryan
The home side had 64% of the possession and 15 attempts at goal in comparison to Swansea City’s six (via BBC Sport).
After the match, the fans were tasked with voting for their Man of the Match and Tom Cairney was voted the winner for the third time this season (via fulhamfc.com). However, most fans felt Joe Bryan, who is valued at £6.3 million (Transfermarkt), was more worthy of the award and they made their feelings known on Twitter.
He was very good, but should of been Bryan

Just because someone actually does their job with postive play instead of persistent negative play doesnt mean thet should be man of the match. All Bryan, all day.
