Both newly-promoted sides were looking to bounce back from opening-weekend defeats, and it was the hosts who found themselves on the right side of a 4-3 thriller following last weekend’s defeat by Liverpool.
Helder Costa put Marcelo Bielsa’s side ahead early before Aleksandar Mitrovic equalised from the spot. A penalty followed up the other end, however, with Mateusz Klich also netting. Costa scored his second of the day in the latter half before Bamford added Leeds’ fourth, and although Bobby Decordova-Reid’s strike and a second for Mitrovic set up a dramatic finish, the hosts emerged with the win. Re-live all the live updates:
45+2 mins: Reed has a go from range but doesn’t get hold of it and Meslier is left with an easy save. The whistle goes for half time and we’ve been treated to a more than decent game. It’s tough to tell which way this one will go, Fulham have given away two easy goals and Leeds gave the visitors a nonsensical penalty.
42 mins: Tete makes an overlapping run and Anguissa tries to pick him out with a cross field pass. The pass is too heavy and it goes past Tete and out for a goal kick.
Leeds 2 - 1 Fulham - Klich
40 mins: GOAL! As cool as you like, Areola dives to his right and Klich slots the ball to the keeper’s left. Leeds back in front.
39 mins: Penalty to Leeds this time! Bamford down, Bryan to blame for a little shove.
36 mins: It was a silly challenge from Koch. He didn’t need to make the tackle and now he’s given away two penalties in two games.
Leeds 1 - 1 Fulham - Mitrovic
34 mins: GOAL! No mistakes from the spot for Mitrovic, he converts the penalty and Fulham are back level.
33 mins: Penalty to Fulham! Bryan is sent into the left side of the box, Koch slides in and takes Bryan’s legs out from under him.
