The substitution of Lukas Nmecha proved an inspired one for Leeds United, with the German grabbing a late winner for Daniel Farke’s side.

After a cruel last-gasp defeat in the reverse fixture against Fulham, it was the Whites who stole the spoils in stoppage time this time round, leaving the boss delighted after the full-time whistle.

“Today, we faced a really in-form Fulham side who have delivered result after result in recent weeks,” the boss told the media.

“We fully deserved to win this game. We didn’t give one proper chance during the whole game away. We have missed several chances, stayed relentless till the end.

“We are able to deliver a clean sheet today. And then also in this manner, late heartbreak against Newcastle, and then today we were there with a late goal.

“To deliver when it counts is for me a really great feeling and the lads deserve all the praise that we showed again.

“I think today was important to find a good balance. We still wanted to be rock solid and not to run into counter attacks.

“Great mentality today, great self-belief and fully deserved to win this game. So, for me, fantastic day for us and they are allowed to enjoy this also a little bit.”
