Graham Smyth's Leeds United ratings v Fulham: late 1-0, Gudmundsson nine, seven eights | OneFootball

Leeds United left it late to sink Fulham 1-0 at Elland Road, Lukas Nmecha striking in added time. Daniel Farke’s side had wasted a string of opportunities before the breakthrough.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Leeds shaded a tactical first half and should have been ahead at the interval. Brenden Aaronson blazed over after running through, with Noah Okafor also clearing the bar.

The hosts stayed on top after the break but chances kept going begging, Gabriel Gudmundsson and Pascal Struijk among the culprits. Substitute Nmecha finally poked Ethan Ampadu’s cross past Leno to trigger late rapture.

Player ratings reflected that balance. Karl Darlow earned seven, Jayden Bogle, James Justin, Joe Rodon and Struijk each took eight, while Gudmundsson scored nine and was a joy to watch.

The back line was assured and aggressive, the right side offered threat, and the left wing-back excelled at both ends. Three big Premier League points, sealed at the death.
