At 2:45 a.m. Beijing time on April 20, the last game of the 43rd round of the 2021-2022 English Champions League, Fulham won 3-0 at home to Preston, four rounds of promotion in advance, Fulham also became the first Premier League promotion horse this season, this 143-year-old team, will play in the Premier League next season.
Fulham scored three goals in the first half, Mitrovic scored twice, Carvalho scored and Fulham took a 3-0 lead. It is worth mentioning that Mitrovic has scored 40 goals in 40 appearances this season, making him the first person to score 40+ goals in the Championship in 29 years. In the second half, Fulham controlled the game and eventually maintained a 3-0 score until the end.
Fulham are promoted four rounds in advance and they are temporarily nine points ahead of second-placed Bournemouth and will have a good chance of winning the Championship this season. Fulham have currently scored 98 goals in 42 games (1 round of the game for the time being), 33 more goals than Bournemouth in second place. In the top 2 leagues of Europe's five major leagues this season, Fulham are the team with the most goals, with Bayern scoring 89 goals in second place.
Following this momentum, it is only a matter of time before Fulham surpass the season record of 99 goals set by Reading. They even have a chance to surpass Manchester City's record of 108 goals set in the 2001-02 season; Fulham's top scorer Mitrovic has scored 40 goals and just three more goals could break the Record of 42 in england's secondary league set by Whitingham in 1992.
After just one season at the helm of Fulham, Marco Silva has made a huge difference. One of the most notable changes has been on the offensive end, as Fulham have beaten Reading and Blackburn 7-0 away from home this season and then beaten Bristol City and Birmingham 6-2 at home in a row, scoring four or more goals in 10 games.
Marco Silva, nicknamed the "New Madman", is both Portuguese and the two are very close. Before he came to the Premier League to coach Hull City, he got the advice of Mourinho. However, Marco Silva has previously coached Hull City, Watford and Everton, and the record is relatively flat. But now he has gradually figured out the doorway of English football. Fulham fans are beginning to look forward to their team's performance in the Premier League next season, the last 5 seasons, Fulham have been relegated in the first season of promotion to the Premier League, if Marco Silva can lead the team to establish a foothold in the Premier League, it will undoubtedly be a huge achievement.
