Fulham vs Southampton LIVE: Premier League 2018-19 as it happened as Ranieri reign starts with 3-2 win

Fulham 3-2 Southampton
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Craven Cottage

Aleksandar Mitrovic scored twice as Claudio Ranieri won his first match as Fulham boss to pile pressure on Southampton manager Mark Hughes.

Stuart Armstrong netted a brace - his first Saints goals - either side of strikes from Mitrovic and Andre Schurrle for Fulham.

Mitrovic, who rivalled Armstrong as the game's star performer, restored the hosts' lead with a crisp volley after 63 minutes and Fulham held on to win 3-2 on Ranieri's Premier League return.
