Leeds dropped into the Premier League relegation zone after Fulham came from behind to win 3-2 at Elland Road, a result which heaps the pressure on underfire manager Jesse Marsch.
In an eventful first half, Rodrigo put Leeds in front on 19 minutes but Aleksandar Mitrovic’s close-range header from a corner equalised matters just six minutes later.
The match remained on a knife edge until late in the second half when Fulham administered the killer blow with two goals in 10 minutes. First, Bobby Decordova-Reid glanced Andreas Pereira’s cross into the far corner, before Harrison Reed set up Willian for a simple tap-in.
Substitutes Joe Gelhardt and Crysencio Summerville combined for the latter to score in stoppage time to give Leeds some late hope, but the full-time whistle arrived to signal boos from the home fans around Elland Road.
Leeds have now gone eight league matches without a win and drop to 18th, while newly-promoted Fulham rise to seventh – above Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool – after an impressive start to the season under Marco Silva.
