Nmecha’s 91st-Minute Winner Lifts Leeds Over Fulham at Elland Road

Farke called it their best display, citing a first Elland Road clean sheet since August that preserves an eight-point safety margin.

Overview

  • Substitute Lukas Nmecha struck in stoppage time to seal a 1-0 victory, rewarding Daniel Farke’s late attacking changes.
  • Fulham’s six-game unbeaten league run ended as they managed one shot on target and produced 0.39 xG.
  • Bernd Leno made notable errors, while Leeds restricted chances to record a rare home shutout.
  • Farke praised his side’s self-belief after recent late heartbreak at Newcastle, calling this their best win of the season.
  • Leeds remain 16th and eight points clear of the drop during an upswing under Farke, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s scoring surge continuing to frame their revival; Fulham were also juggling AFCON absences and fitness concerns.
