Fulham star Ryan Sessegnon hails the form of on-loan striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Fulham star Ryan Sessegnon has lavished praise on teammate Aleksandar Mitrovic, describing the Serbian forward as "on fire".

The wing-back hailed the on-loan Newcastle United striker's impact after he scored the only goal of the game during the Whites' 1-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship.

"He's on fire at the moment," Sessegnon the club's official website. "All you have to do is keep feeding him the ball and you know he's going to score the goals for us.

"Matt Targett had the ball and I made the run forward. He slipped it through the centre-back and the full-back and I just ran onto it. I saw Mitro in the box and fizzed it across and he was able to tap it in.

"We had to be patient. The goal wasn't coming in the first 20 minutes or so, so we had to be patient and wait for our opportunity. We did that and the goal came, so we're happy. We're buzzing. To continue the unbeaten run is a great feeling for us, and now it's just onto the next game."

Fulham's unbeaten run has left them two points off the Championship's automatic promotion places, although Cardiff City directly above them have a match in hand.
