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 helped Alexsandar Mitrovic to his feet after his tumbleREX
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 took a tumble 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 perform a near-backwards roll over it.
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.”
