"You felt straight away the changes that Daniel [Farke] made to his team were to be much more conservative out wide, control better our left-hand side - and they did it. With good organisation, it is not easy to break them down. In the first half, we were probably too slow. We did not take too many risks. I think second half we were much better, more dynamic."
"An own goal in the last minute of the game, so we have to feel a bit fortunate. A nice feeling for us, a difficult feeling for Daniel and the Leeds boys, but that is part of the game. It was important for us to keep a clean sheet because we need to create this habit, and it allowed us to go on and try to win the game."
Fulham edged Leeds 1-0 when Gabriel Gudmundsson headed Sasa Lukic's corner into his own net in the fourth minute of stoppage time. The victory was Fulham's first Premier League win of the season and their third consecutive win over Leeds, the first such run against that opponent. Fulham registered no first-half shots, the third time they have done so in a home Premier League game, and finished with five shots worth 0.7 xG. Leeds applied early pressure and adjusted to play more conservatively out wide, making Fulham's task difficult until a more dynamic second-half performance. The clean sheet provided a platform to press for victory.
