You know you’re playing well when your social media team says they’re disappointed you alone scored six goals.

And that’s exactly what Fulham posted when they beat Bristol City 6-2 on Saturday.

To be fair, having traveled to Reading and scored seven goals, you probably have every right to be disappointed with one less goal at home a few days later.

It was the third time Fulham had scored six or more goals this season, following away thrashings at Reading and Blackburn (whom they beat 7-0 at Ewood Park earlier this campaign).

Fulham now have 64 league goals this season, which is more than the three teams (Barnsley, Derby and Peterborough) have scored together (62).

The Cottagers, who look set for an immediate return to the Premier League under former Watford boss Marco Silva, have played fantastic football this season.

Aleksandar Mitrovic has been their star man, with the Serb scoring 27 goals in 24 league games.

Is Mitrovic the best Championship striker of all time?

Harry Wilson and Fabio Carvalho also caused a stir

The current single-season goalscoring record was set by Brentford’s Ivan Toney last season, who scored 31, a record which Mitrovic will no doubt break if he doesn’t leave in January.

Silva also has the likes of Harry Wilson, Neeskens Kebano and youngster Fabio Carvalho to call on in the forward areas – no wonder they’ve scored so many goals.

And chances are no one will be disappointed if the west Londoners are promoted and continue to play that way in the top flight next season.

Premier League clubs, be warned – their football can leave you at six and seven…
