Fulham plunge unlucky Leeds deeper into relegation battle with solid home win

Goals from Harry Wilson and Andreas Perreira were enough for Fulham to edge past Leeds United at home, despite a late Patrick Bamford strike for the visitors.

The first 30 minutes brought very little goalmouth action with an Andreas Pereira effort that was easily gathered by Illan Meslier, the only notable effort on goal.

The second half began with way more urgency with Fulham asserting their dominance right from the restart.

 It didn’t take the hosts long to break the deadlock, with Antonee Robinson making a rampaging run down the left before Meslier flapped at his cross and the ball fell invitingly to Harry Wilson who made no mistake to give Fulham the lead.

That goal seemed to spark Leeds into life, and the visitors came close to an instant response when Crysencio Summerville’s effort rippled the side-netting,

Fulham’s second goal was almost identical to the first, with Meslier making a hash of a Robinson cross, but this time the ball fell to Pereira who had the simplest of tasks to slam home.

This result keeps Fulham's faint European hopes alive but Javi Gracia's Leeds must now be looking nervously over their shoulders.
