Leeds vs Fulham LIVE: Result and reaction from Premier League fixture today
Re-live all the action from the dramatic top-flight fixture at Elland Road
Leeds United beat Fulham in the Premier League this afternoon in a dramatic clash at Elland Road.
Both newly-promoted sides were looking to bounce back from opening-weekend defeats, and it was the hosts who found themselves on the right side of a 4-3 thriller following last weekend’s defeat by Liverpool.
Helder Costa put Marcelo Bielsa’s side ahead early before Aleksandar Mitrovic equalised from the spot. A penalty followed up the other end, however, with Mateusz Klich also netting. Costa scored his second of the day in the latter half before Bamford added Leeds’ fourth, and although Bobby Decordova-Reid’s strike and a second for Mitrovic set up a dramatic finish, the hosts emerged with the win.

West Brom’s life back in the Premier League got off to a tough start last week after they were battered 3-0 by Leicester at home.
Despite the scoreline goalkeeper Sam Johnstone had a decent game twice denying Harvey Barnes in the first half before Timothy Castagne broke the deadlock with a solid header.
Jamie Vardy then netted twice from the penalty spot as Leicester took their game up a notch and the Baggies found it difficult to cope.
It was a disappointing start and Slaven Bilic will want a turnaround today.
