João Palhinha scored the first goal for Fulham in the 21st minute, then Manor Solomon added another in the 56th minute on a feed from Aleksandar Mitrović In the end, Leeds United was frustrated by Fulham’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Fulham ended the match with the shutout victory. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Fulham should be reasonably happy with their performance.
