"Fulham secured their first win of the Premier League season after a late Gabriel Gudmundsson own goal helped them beat Leeds United 1-0 at Craven Cottage. The Cottagers were on the back foot for the majority of the match, but Gudmundsson could do nothing when a Sasa Lukic corner ricocheted off his head and into his own net. Leeds were on top in the first half, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin heading straight at Bernd Leno before Sean Longstaff struck the woodwork just before the break."
"Data Debrief: Leeds' London struggles continue Although Fulham failed to create chances for almost an hour, their late flurry of chances saw them accumulate 0.7 expected goals (xG) in total, compared to Leeds' 0.58. Fulham had just five shots against Leeds, their fewest on record (since 2003-04) for a Premier League home match they went on to win. This defeat means Leeds have now lost their last nine away Premier League matches in London, conceding 27 goals in these defeats."
