The 2019-20 campaign was a season of ultimate redemption for Fulham, lasting an unprecedented 367 days, as The Cottagers, led by manager Scott Parker, battled back to the Premier League at the first attempt. Finishing a strong 4th, the charge was spearheaded by the sensational form of Aleksandar Mitrović, whose league-topping 26 goals secured the Championship Golden Boot. The season culminated in a dramatic 2-1 extra-time victory over fierce local rivals Brentford in the Play-off Final at Wembley, with a brilliant brace from hero Joe Bryan securing their immediate return to the top flight.
