BELGRADE (Reuters) - Serbia striker Aleksandar Mitrovic justified coach Dragan Stojkovic's faith in him as he shook off his poor club form to become his country's joint top scorer with a superb brace in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Ireland.
The 26-year old Fulham striker has now bagged 38 goals in 62 appearances for his country, equalling the tally of late former Yugoslavia international Stjepan Bobek, who netted 38 in 63 games from 1946 to 1956.
