Fulham 7-0 Luton Town: Fulham clinch Championship title with emphatic Luton victory

Mitrovic equalled Guy Whittingham's 1992-93 record of 42 goals in a season, with Fulham's fourth goal of the night

Record-breaking Aleksandar Mitrovic reached 43 goals in a season by scoring twice as Fulham clinched the Championship title in style with a 7-0 win over Luton Town.

Fabio Carvalho made it three after the break, before Mitrovic scored his record-equalling 42nd goal of the campaign.

Bobby Decordova-Reid and Jean-Michael Seri extended the lead, before Mitrovic tapped in his second and Fulham's title celebrations began.

The defeat was Luton's heaviest of the season and sees them drop down a place to sixth. While a place in the play-offs is still in their hands, they need to beat Reading to ensure Middlesbrough cannot overtake them.

• Can Fulham buck the trend to stay in Premier League?

Having confidently dominated the season, Fulham seemed to stutter towards the finish line and went into the game having won only one of their previous five matches.

The Hatters started brightly and where Fulham were misfiring in the final third, Luton looked sharp with Kal Naismith forcing an early save from Marek Rodak.

Yet an omen for Luton's evening seemed to come before kick-off when Nathan Jones was forced to make a late change after Allan Campbell was injured in the pre-game warm-up.

The injury list grew longer when Fred Onyedinma pulled up running on the counter and he was still sitting on the ground when Harry Wilson picked out Cairney and the Fulham stalwart sent the ball rocketing into the net.

Tete then made it 2-0 with an impressive strike into the corner with his weaker left foot and from that point on it was just a case of how many they would score, with the home fans began cheering every Fulham pass after the break.

Wilson, whose tally for assists this season now stands at 20, flicked the ball on for Carvalho who curled it in for their thirdand Mitrovic had the black and white scarves waving again when he ran into space from deep, saw his first shot blocked but tapped the rebound into the net to match Guy Whittingham's 1992-93 record of 42 goals in a season.

Luton were still trying to regroup when Decordova-Reid ruthlessly made it 5-0, running between two defenders and slotting the ball beyond Matt Ingram.

Ingram was drafted in by Luton in an emergency loan just 24 hours before kick-off, but having already lost to Fulham twice for parent club Hull City, he has now seen 10 goals by the London club go past him this season.

Seri scored his first goal of the season with another powerful shot from distance low into the corner, before Mitrovic added a seventh in injury time to become the most prolific scorer of a single campaign in the modern era.

Fulham have now scored 106 goals and are just two away from matching Manchester City, who were the last team to surpass 100 goals in English football's second tier with 108 in 2001-02.

They face Sheffield United away on the final day of the season, while sixth-placed Luton now find themselves among four clubs vying for the final two play-off places - with their goal difference now inferior to Middlesbrough and Millwall, the two clubs immediately below them.
