Mitrovic aims a tame effort at goal. Fulham need more from their front man.
51'
Six goals in two games for Leeds, so far. Bamford has two in two. Who said he couldn't do it in the Premier League?

GOAL! Leeds 3-1 Fulham (Bamford): A lovely finish by Bamford! Fulham are cut open defensively as Bamford slips in between two defenders to latch onto Klich's through ball and after a great first touch he coolly side-foots it past Areola.

Great defending by Tete, who out-jumps Roberts to clear Klich's corner, as Leeds make a bright start to the second half.

Leeds sub: Rodrigo, who has been fairly anonymous, is replaced by Roberts at the break. No indication whether it's an injury or tactical, but it hasn't been a great start to life at Leeds for the Spain international.

Half-time: An eventful first half comes to a close. Two penalties, three goals and it's Leeds who lead at Elland Road at the break.
45'+1
Reed shoots straight at Meslier and it's a comfortable save.

Two minutes will be added on. Leeds can't seem to keep possession inside their own half as Fulham continue to probe.
43'
Anguissa chips a ball over the top for Tete, who is free on the right as the Leeds defence stands still. He can't keep it in, however.
42'
Scott Parker must feel like tearing his hair out. Fulham have been the better side in the first half but they have switched off twice defensively and find themselves behind.

GOAL! Leeds 2-1 Fulham (Klich): Calm and composed from Klich, who rolls it down the middle as Areola dives early. Leeds are back in front.

Penalty to Leeds! Bamford goes to ground after a hand in the back from Bryan. Oh dear Fulham.
37'
It has been a great response from Fulham, though, since they fell behind. They're playing the high-press and their intensity and energy is impressive.
35'
Koch hasn't made the best start to life in the Premier League. It was a really clumsy tackle on Bryan. There was just no need for it. He also conceded a penalty at Anfield last weekend.

GOAL! Fulham 1-1 Leeds (Mitrovic, pen): Mitrovic slides the ball underneath Meslier and into the back of the net. It's not the most convincing of penalties but Fulham won't care - they're level.

Penalty to Fulham! For the second week in a row, Koch concedes a penalty. This time he slides in on Bryan and he's a mile late. Stonewall penalty.
31'
Leeds get away with one. Philips plays a pass straight into the feet of Reed, who anticipates the situation well. He feeds Cavaleiro, who tries to create the room for a shot but is forced into a pass. The ball is switched to Bryan on the right overlap, he stands up a cross to Mitrovic but he commits a foul inside the penalty area.
29'
The camera zooms in on a disappointed Hernandez, who pulled his groin muscle in the warm-up while playing a pass.
26'

Fingertip save! Once again Leeds threaten from a set-piece. Philips finds Koch and it's not the most straight forward of headers but he shows great technique to guide his effort at goal, forcing Areola into a fingertip save.
25'
Cooper flights a ball over the top for Bamford to run on to. He's behind the Fulham defence but takes a touch too many and Odoi rescues the visitors.
