Comments:

League position: 18th Fulham had now lost ten home games so far in this Premier League season; their most home league defeats in a season since 2013-14 in the Premier League (11). The Whites had now scored three goals in their last ten home games in the Premier League. A victory in this game would have lifted them outside of the bottom three of the Premier League for the first time since 21 December 2020.

Comments:

League position: 11th Leeds United had now won seven away games so far in this Premier League season; the most by a newly-promoted team since Wigan Athletic (eight) and West Ham United (seven) in 2005-06. This was United's first win in their last 17 visits to London in all competitions since December 2017 (lost 14). Patrick Bamford became the first player to score in four consecutive league games for the Whites against the same opposition since Luciano Becchio against Middlesbrough from 2010 to 2012. [c/o Jonny Cooper] Luke Ayling scored after eight minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
