For Fulham, overcoming a team condemned to playing in League One next season was supposed to be the easy part. Nothing felt straightforward on a night of tension, however, and if Neil Warnock was watching this game on television, he will no doubt have taken note of some generous refereeing decisions. It was only when the marginally offside Aleksandar Mitrovic scored the decisive goal with 17 minutes left that Fulham could be sure of hauling themselves back into the Championship’s top two with one match left.For all the late drama, however, the real challenge for Slavisa Jokanovic’s players will be finding a way to enjoy their Saturday. It seems preposterous that a team on a 23-match unbeaten run could yet be forced to endure the torture of the play-offs. But there is no escape from the unforgiving nature of this race to win automatic promotion, with Fulham all too aware that they will be a point below Cardiff City if Warnock’s team win at 18th-placed Hull City this afternoon.
