The game had it’s first controversial decision in the 7th minute when Ezgjan Alioski were judged to have handballed on the cross in from Aleksander Mitrovic.

Between the 25th minute and half time, the game saw Liam Cooper, Harrison Reed, Helder Costa and Joe Bryan given a yellow, meaning they had to be very careful when playing in the second half.

Leeds managed to get level after the break when Patrick Bamford scored tap-in when substitute Eddie Nketiah’s had his strike rebounded.

Josh Onomah dashed Leeds’ hope of getting a winner when he first goal of the season after the ball fell to him from an incoming corner.

The result means Fulham move up the 3rd in the Championship table, nine points behind Marcelo Bielsa’s in second-placed.
