The win snapped the visitors' unbeaten run and moved Leeds eight points clear of the Premier League drop zone. A tribute to the late Terry Yorath preceded the match, with both sets of fans paying respects.

The result sees Fulham drop to tenth, moving further from European qualification. Leeds' late winner provides vital momentum in their relegation battle. Attention now turns to upcoming fixtures as both teams look to build on or recover from this result. The race for European spots and survival intensifies.
