Fulham have won promotion back to the Premier League after a 3-0 win over Preston North End.

It was plain sailing for the riverside west London club who scored all their goals before half-time.

Serbian striker Alexsandar Mitrovic took his goal tally in the second-tier Championship to 40 this season with two in the first half. Fabio Carvalho also struck as Fulham put successive defeats behind them.

Two more wins in their remaining four games will secure Fulham the title, though second-placed Bournemouth who are nine points behind, are unlikely to catch them.

In the last five seasons Fulham have been promoted, relegated, promoted, relegated and promoted again.
