Aleksandar Mitrovic broke the Championship scoring record with 14 games left to play this term
(Picture: PA)Aleksandar Mitrovic has set his eyes on the Championship title after smashing the division's goalscoring record on Wednesday night.
A brace from the Serbian in Fulham's 2-1 victory over Peterborough saw the striker take his tally for the season to 33 goals from 30 games, surpassing the previous record of 31, set by Brentford's Ivan Toney only last season.
With the record sealed with 14 games to spare, Mitrovic is now aiming for the title. Fulham are nine points clear of former manager Scott Parker and his Bournemouth side in second, though the Cherries have two games in hand.
"That is the target, to finish top and to finish first," said Mitrovic. "14 games to play and nothing is done yet, we need to focus on Cardiff [on Saturday] now."
On the record, Mitrovic added: "It feels nice, 33 goals. It was a nice feeling to break the record but most important is the three points.
"I should have had a hat-trick but it was a good performance. I have a few records but this feels nice. I have one with Serbia and now here. I feel great, I feel good with this team."
Fulham manager Marco Silva added: "Congratulations to him. The numbers speak for themselves. 33 goals at the end of February, with 14 more games to play, it's fantastic.
"What I like about him is he's always demanding more and more and more. He knows that from tomorrow I'll demand more and more from him.
"Mitro's numbers reflect our philosophy and the players have bought into it. We're creating and building something important."
