Leicester City vs Fulham
It ends 2-0 for Fulham, as they win for the first time this calendar year. Goals from Smith Rowe and Traore do the trick as they get the better of Leicester. There were certainly chances for the Foxes, but they were unable to convert them as they had more shots on target than their opponents did, despite having half as many attempts. Still, the Cottagers were ruthless, as the two goals scored were their only shots on target in the match. Take nothing away from the visitors though, as they do deserve the three points won on the road. The final xG reads 2.08 to 0.47 in Fulham's favour. Thank you to one and all for tuning into this live text commentary between Leicester and Fulham, which once again ends 2-0 in the visitors' favour. All the very best, and until next time.
