The 27-year-old scored in the 62nd and 92nd minutes to take his tally to 43 goals in the competition this season.
The goals against Luton saw Mitrovic beat Guy Whittingham’s haul of 42 goals scored in the 1992/93 campaign.
Mitrovic has achieved this remarkable feat with one game to spare in the Championship. He has scored 12 goals more than his closest challenger, British-born Nigerian striker Dominic Solanke, who plays for Bournemouth.
On Sunday, the Serbian was named the Championship Player of the season after the stellar season for Fulham.
