Despite Fulham doubling their lead thanks to a close-range striker from attacking midfielder Andreas Pereira, Leeds United have set up a grandstand finish in Saturday afternoon’s early Premier League kick-off at Craven Cottage.
The home team took a second-half lead through Harry Wilson, who lashed in a beautiful volley which beat Bernd Leno before clipping the underside of the bar and finding the back of the net.
And adding to the Whites’ pressure as they sink further and further into relegation territory, former Man United midfielder Pereira made it two-nil from close range.

However, less than seven minutes after the Londoners’ South American doubled his side’s advantage, Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford pulled one back.

At the time of writing, there are a little over five minutes left to play – can Javi Garcia’s Leeds United salvage anything from the game?
