A GLORIOUS strike from captain Tom Cairney and a late goal by Aleksandar Mitrovic saw Fulham overcome Blackburn at Craven Cottage. 

It was a game played in blustery conditions that contributed to the poor quality of much of the football.

Blackburn started the brighter without threatening Marcus Bettinelli’s goal. And Fulham took advantage as they started to get a foothold in the game and assert their passing style of football.
