A chorus of boos echoed out, and dark storm clouds hovered, as plucky Fulham came from behind to comfortably beat Jesse Marsch's deflated side. The Cottager's should have taken the lead early on. Robinson's cross into the Leeds Utd penalty area was flicked on to Reed. The midfielder was given the space, and time to chest the ball down, and drive a half volley past the advancing Meslier. Fortunately, Roca was on hand to make an incredible goal line (half) clearance; only for Pereira's rebound to be smothered away by Koch.

Leeds took the lead on 20 minutes. Rodrigo played a delightful through ball to Harrison on the edge of the area. He opened up his body to try and bend his effort past Leno, but was partially blocked by Ream. The loose ball fell kindly to Rodrigo, who nodded the ball home from close range. Their lead would only last six minutes. Mitrovic outjumped Ayling following a well executed corner. His glancing hearer seemed to go through the hands of Meslier, as the Serb celebrated his ninth of the season. Minutes later Fulham should have taken the lead. Pereira broke free from Cooper, and charged halfway down the pitch. With only Meslier to beat, it looked as if the visitors would take a 2-1 advantage, going in at half-time, but the young shot-stopper made amends.

Both teams had chances to retake the lead, shortly after the break, the best of which fell to Bamford (who came on for Rodrigo with 25 minutes left), only for his effort to be snubbed out by Leno. Disaster struck with 15 minutes left on the clock. Pereira's cross found the head of De Cordova-Reid, and suddenly the game, and the crowd turned.

Desperate now for a point, Marsch threw on Klich (who had as much influence as a chocolate teapot), and soon, Fulham had added a third, courtesy of former Chelsea star Willian. Leeds added a consolation goal in injury time, but it was too little, too late.
