A late winner from striker Lukas Nmecha gave Leeds a crucial 1-0 win over Fulham, lifting the Whites eight points clear of the relegation zone. The victory came at a time when the club was paying tribute to its former player Terry Yorath, who passed away this month aged 75.
The match saw both teams dominate possession, but it was Leeds who were more clinical in front of goal. Despite having several clear-cut chances, the home side failed to capitalize on them, allowing Fulham to extend their unbeaten run to six league matches. However, in the 81st minute, Nmecha latched onto Ethan Ampadu's cross and slotted it past Bernd Leno to seal the win.
Leeds manager Daniel Farke praised his team for staying relentless until the end, saying that they deserved the victory. The win marked their sixth league triumph of the season, and Farke's sentiments of pride and satisfaction echoed through the stadium.
The game had been a closely contested affair, with both teams creating chances. However, it was Leeds who ultimately came out on top, thanks to Nmecha's late winner. Fulham manager Marco Silva admitted that his team failed to perform at the required level, but still managed to congratulate Leeds on their win.
For Leeds, this victory is a significant boost in their quest for survival, and will undoubtedly give them a much-needed confidence boost going into their next matches.

! i was watching it with my mates and we were all going nuts when that goal went in 
️ nmecha's finish was so sweet 
, the whole stadium erupted 
. leeds have been struggling but this win will surely give them a boost 
️, they deserve it after playing like that 
. fulham just couldn't catch a break 
, but congrats to leeds for finally getting a result 
️. It's crazy how much difference one goal can make in a game - Fulham had so many chances and couldn't score, it's like they were hitting the wall 
they were all over fulham and created some huge chances but just couldn't find the back of the net till lukas scored that beauty in the 81st minute, what a finish by him 
anyway, 8 points clear of the relegation zone now is looking more like a reality for them, fingers crossed they can keep it up 
lukas nmecha's winner was pure magic tho! he's been on fire lately and that goal was just the icing on the cake 
daniel farke is a genius, he's got his team playing like a well-oiled machine 
.
this guy is like a savior for the team i'm glad daniel farke is proud of his boys, they definitely deserved that win after dominating possession like that 
I was on the edge of my seat when Lukas Nmecha scored that late winner for Leeds 
.
Eight points clear of the relegation zone is HUGE, they must be feeling super relieved and proud 
. Back in my day, we used to go to these tiny little festivals with like 5-10 people max, and the whole atmosphere was just chill vibes, you know? Nowadays it's all about the big-name acts and overpriced merch... I mean, what happened to the good old days when we could just rock out without breaking the bank? 
.
it's like he just floated over the line and slotted it in with ease. anyway, to be fair, fulham had some decent moments but they just couldn't capitalize on their chances. dan farke said it all - leeds were relentless till the end and they deserved that win 
But nope, they came out on top and that's all that matters! I heard Daniel Farke saying they deserved the win and honestly, I think he's right. They played so hard for that 3 points 
. Anyway, this win is HUGE for Leeds and I'm hyped for them going forward! Fingers crossed they keep it up 
. This win is definitely a confidence booster for Leeds and should help them stay ahead of the relegation zone 
anyway, this win marks a major turning point for leeds and i'm all for it, go whites!!! 
it was such a beautifully placed shot. can't believe they lifted themselves out of the relegation zone now 8 points clear 
this win for leeds is a huge confidence booster and will definitely help them push on strong in the rest of the season
