Aleksandar Mitrović was frustrated not to beat AFC Bournemouth on Saturday, but conceded that the draw might have been a fair result.
“The target was three points,” he said. “No matter who’s the opponent, when we’re playing at home the target is three points.
“We conceded sloppy goals and I think that cost us the game. We managed to get the draw, one point is better than zero, and we move on.
“Second half we knew we needed to take a few more risks. I think we dominated the game, they dropped a little bit deeper and didn’t try to play a lot.
“Second half we were better than our opponent and maybe could have managed to get another, but I think one point is a fair result.
“Am I happy? No, but we take it and move on.
“We’ve got another big, big game in a few days, and we have to recover and prepare for that.”
Fulham’s second equaliser was a penalty won and dispatched by Mitrović after he was hauled to the ground by Jefferson Lerma.
When asked if he’s pleased to see opposition players being penalised for such actions, Mitro replied: “To be honest with you, sometimes I’m not even tired from running, I’m tired from wrestling with defenders all game.
“There were two or three big guys around me, always holding, so it takes a lot of energy. I was really exhausted, not from running, from wrestling!
“If you’re a big strong guy, like I am, they try to stop you. I think the penalty was a soft one, but it was a penalty.
“I’m not going to talk about referees, but there’s been a lot of soft penalties this season. If it was a penalty against us in the last game, then I think this one was 100 per cent a penalty as well.
“I was happy to get one for us, and I managed to put it on target. To be honest I had one or two more chances where I could have reacted better.”
