Leeds United suffered a tough defeat away against Fulham, with Gabriel Gudmundsson’s own goal in stoppage time delivering a 1-0 victory for Fulham. The game was closely contested, and it seemed like both teams were heading towards a draw until the late own goal.
Despite the win, Fulham manager Marco Silva acknowledged that Leeds had their chances, especially in the first half, and could have gotten a result if they were more clinical with their finishing. Silva highlighted Leeds’ good organization and the difficulty his team faced in breaking them down, particularly in the first half.
The defeat leaves Leeds United in a challenging position, with manager Daniel Farke needing to address the team’s poor away form. The attempts to shake up the attack with new additions like Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin, and Okafor did not yield the desired results in this game. The absence of a deadline day addition in the attacking department may have impacted Leeds’ ability to score goals, as they have only managed two goals in all competitions so far this season.
Overall, the defeat to Fulham highlights the need for Leeds United to regroup and find ways to be more clinical in front of goal, as they aim to improve their performances and results in the upcoming games.
