The Cottagers beat Derby County 2-0 at Craven Cottage on Monday night to overturn a 1-0 first-leg defeat. They will face either Aston Villa or Middlesbrough in the final later this month.

Mitrovic failed to add to his tally of 12 goals for Slavisa Jonanovic's side, with Ryan Sessegnon and Denis Odoi on target.

But he forced Scott Carson into two first half saves and came close twice more as well as having appeals for a penalty waved away in a busy first half performance.

And the on-loan Newcastle striker completed the full 90 minutes as Fulham booked their first Wembley appearance since 1975.
