Mitrovic performed for Sunderland’s fiercest competitors Newcastle between 2015 and 2018 when he scored 17 targets in 72 outings for the membership.
“I love it,” he admitted of boos from Dim Cats enthusiasts. “I’m a Geordie boy, so they don’t like me here. I knew it before! Good atmosphere and three goals against them so I’m sure a lot of Newcastle fans will be happy too.
Mitrovic’s mini-goal drought continues as he has gone five Fulham games without scoring, but like his manager Marco Silva earlier in the week, he doesn’t seem overly concerned.
“It was really difficult to come off the bench, but I got an assist,” he stated. “I’d be happier if I grabbed a function however I controlled to seek out Andreas who put the function away. In spite of everything the task was once completed so we’re in reality glad.
