Leeds United beat Fulham in the Premier League this afternoon in a dramatic clash at Elland Road.

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.

Everton 0 - 1 West Brom - Diangana

10 mins: GOAL! That’s come from nothing. Grady Diangana just edges forward with the ball making his way to the Everton penalty area. There’s nothing on for Diangana so he shoots as the defenders drop away from him, Pickford reacts late and is beaten by the time he dives across to his left. West Brom lead.

West Brom boss, Slaven Bilic, has had his say on today’s game against Everton. He knows the Toffees are aiming high this season with the new players that they’ve brought in but he’s confident his team will do their best. He said: 

We were disappointed after Leicester but we didn’t have time to be down because we had a game on Wednesday. 

“We bounced back. It’s a different competition, some will say it’s a different level of the game - of course it is but it’s always nice to win the game. 

“The whole atmosphere at the training ground, it wasn’t down, down, down after Leicester, but it is much better now. 

“Every opponent is big in the Premier League, so we are right, we are good. Mentally we are where we want to be. 

“They are a big club, historically in the big five, but they lost it a bit. In the last few seasons they are very ambitious. They started with Koeman and now with Ancelotti and they were spending for a few years in a row, big money. 

“Now it seems they have bought the right players. Time will tell of course, on paper they look really great, they are maybe the team that is most improved in this transfer window apart from Chelsea. 

“But time will tell. They started well so everything went up a little bit, also because they won a tough away game at Spurs. 

"Again, saying all that, it means we are facing a very difficult task and opponent on Saturday, but every game is going to be like that for us, every game is going to be a big challenge. 

“We have to get used to the Premier League and do our best.”
