Fulham manager Scott Parker:


"Overall it was a good performance. We weathered the storm early on and got a foothold in the game.

"I think we're well worthy of the two-goal lead at this stage.

"We worked our socks off and our foundation was built on concrete, but it will be another huge battle on Thursday. This is only halfway through and we'll stand up to the challenge."

On Aleksandar Mitrovic's injury, Parker added: "He's picked up a little bit of a hamstring knock. We went into this game knowing it is over two legs and we made a decision for the team.

"Hopefully we can get him fit for Thursday."
