Fulham secures immediate promotion back to Premier League

Fulham sealed an immediate comeback to the Premier League with a convincing 3-0 victory over Preston on Tuesday, ensuring a top-two finish in the Championship.

The key to their promotion has been the prolific goal-scoring prowess of Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has netted an impressive 40 goals, including two in the match against Preston. With four games still in hand, Fulham appears poised to clinch the Championship title, holding a comfortable nine-point lead over second-placed Bournemouth.

Since their promotion to the Premier League in 2018 after a four-year hiatus, Fulham has been oscillating between the top two divisions every season.

The upcoming Premier League season will see a cluster of west London teams, including Chelsea and Brentford, joining Fulham in the top flight.
