Jesse Marsch staring down barrel as Leeds crash to fourth straight defeat vs Fulham
The Whites haven't won a Premier League game in over two months and continue to leak like a colander at the back
Jesse Marsch's position as Leeds head coach looks in severe doubt after his side went down 3-2 at home to Fulham.
Leeds had lost three league matches on the spin coming into this clash at Elland Road – but they made the ideal start, going ahead on 20 minutes through Rodrigo.
But that was to be about as good as it got for the hosts, who saw their lead cancelled out by Aleksandar Mitrovic just six minutes later.
As the game headed towards the final 15 minutes, Marsch's men were still very much in the contest – but two goals in the space of 11 minutes from Bobby Decordova-Reid and Willian ultimately put Fulham out of sight.
Crysencio Summerville's stoppage-time strike gave the Whites a glimmer of hope, but it proved to be too little too late.
Leeds will end the weekend 18th in the Premier League, having picked up just nine points so far (seven of which came in their first three outings of the season).
Fulham, meanwhile, are up to seventh; the Cottagers have already recorded as many victories this term (5) as during their previous top-flight campaign in 2020/21.
