Watch Mitrovic’s funny tumble over advertising board as Fulham beat Sunderland

ALEKSANDAR MITROVIC took a hilarious tumble over an advertising board in Fulham’s FA Cup fifth-round replay triumph over Sunderland.

The Serbian striker played a big role in the Cottagers’ second goal against the Championship outfit with a neat flick by the edge of the goal line.

Andreas Pereira made no mistake from inside the box, tapping the ball into an empty net to put the visitors on the brink of the fifth round.

But all eyes were on Mitrovic as he tumbled over one of the advertising boards as he watched his team-mate double the lead.

The former Newcastle man fell backwards over the board after losing his footing – which caused him to nearly perform a backwards roll.

Footy fans were quick to comment, with one saying: “And that is why Mitrovic is class!”

Another said: “What an assist by the Serbian magician.”

And another said: “Anyone else think Mitrovic was a little lucky there?”

One remarked: “Lol at Mitrovic tripping over off the advertising board.”

Another chimed in: “Haha Mitrovic.”

A 90th-minute strike from Jewison Bennette set up a nervy extra time period but the visitors held on advance to the next room.
