Newcastle striker was mistakenly pictured next to a Sunderland badge.

Aleksandar Mitrovic earned a man-of-the-match award as Fulham beat Leeds 2-0 last night.

The Newcastle United striker is on loan at Fulham and is in the best form of his career, scoring eight goals in 11 games.

Newcastle fans have mixed emotions seeing Mitrovic do so well considering his mixed performances for them since signing from Anderlecht.

But after the game they were confused, as SkySports named him man-of-the-match… only to picture him next to a badge of Newcastle’s despised rivals Sunderland.

Sunderland are at a real low point right now as they slip further behind in the Championship.

They are eight points adrift of safety in the relegation zone and appear destined for relegation for League One.

A striker like Aleksandar Mitrovic is just what they need to turn their form around, but last night’s mistaken Sky graphic is as close as they are likely to get.
