Fulham v Leeds ratings: Willian 8, Pereira 7; Meslier 4, McKennie 5

• 

  FULHAM RATINGS: Bernd Leno – 6. Dived well to his right to keep out a curling Roca effort on 16 minutes. Looked to have deliberately handled a Ream back pass but no one – including the referee – seemed too bothered. Tipped over a Roca effort in the second half. PA

• 

  Kenny Tete – 6. Fulham’s right-back was on the receiving end of some rough treatment but stuck to his task and provided support in attack. AFP

• 

  Tosin Adarabioyo – 7. A perfectly timed block denied Rodrigo a shot on goal on 22 minutes and made several other vital clearances. Reuters

• 

  Tim Ream – 6. Lucky to escape a yellow card for a rash challenge on Aaronson on 12 minutes. Comfortable in possession. AFP

• 

  Antonee Robinson – 8. Drove forward with real purpose in the buildup to Fulham’s opener and supplied the cross that led to the second. Put in a ferocious block to deny Sinisterra. AFP

• 

  Harrison Reed – 6. Was tenacious without being a standout. PA

• 

  Joao Palhinha – 7. Booked for a crude challenge on Summerville on 15 minutes. Mopped up any dangerous Leeds breakaways. Given an own goal for deflecting Bamford’s effort in. AFP

• 

  Harry Wilson – 7. Had a glorious chance to play in Pereira just before half time but got his pass all wrong. Made no mistake with his goal though as he rifled his shot past Meslier and in off the crossbar. Getty Images

• 

  Andreas Pereira – 7. Sent in two sumptuous free kicks in the first half but hit a tame effort from 20 yards straight at Meslier. Almost doubled Fulham’s lead but his second-half freekick cracked Meslier’s crossbar before tapping in from close range on 71 minutes for what proved to be the winner. AFP

• 

  Willian – 8. Ghosted past Kristensen on 20 minutes and again on 49 minutes. Rolled back the years with his trademark drop of the shoulder and drives inside from the Fulham left. Provided the cross for Wilson’s goal and nearly capped a man-of-the-match performance with a goal of his own. AFP

• 

  LEEDS RATINGS: Illan Meslier – 4. Clawed a brilliant Adarabioyo header away – despite the Fulham defender being offside – on seven minutes. Arguably should have done better with Willian’s cross in the buildup to Wilson’s goal and definitely should have done better for the second. Did well to push Willian’s free kick on to the bar and palm the ball away from danger. AFP

• 

  Rasmus Kristensen – 4. Given a chastening by Willian down Leeds’ right. AFP

• 

  Robin Koch – 4. Poor in possession and never looked reliable at the back. AFP

• 

  Liam Cooper – 5. Making his first start under Javi Gracia, the Scotland defender put in a superb block to deny Willian a sight at goal on 33 minutes. Lucky to escape with just a booking for a lunge on Palhinha. Supplied the low drive into the box that led to Leeds’ goal. Reuters

• 

  Max Wober – 6. Put in a decent cross on 34 minutes but no Leeds player in the box. Tracked back well as Pereira looked to pull the trigger in the first half. Booked for a foul on Wilson on 61 minutes. AFP

• 

  Weston McKennie – 5. Picked up his sixth booking of the season for a foul on Tete in the first half. Showed some urgency with Leeds 2-0 down but too little too late. AP

• 

  Marc Roca – 5. Forced Leno into a full length save with an early free kick and forced the Fulham goalkeeper to tip over an effort on 76 minutes. AFP

• 

  Jack Harrison – 5. Played a teasing ball into the Fulham box early in the first half but otherwise struggled to get into the game. AFP

• 

  Crysencio Summerville – 5. One mazy first-half run saw the Dutch winger scythed down. Hit the side netting with a rasping effort on the hour. AFP

• 

  Brenden Aaronson – 6. Turned away a Harry Wilson cross early for a corner. Looked to drive his team up the pitch but was often his team’s most advanced player and lacked support. Getty Images

• 

  Rodrigo 4 – His highlight was tracking back to concede a corner early in the first half. Clattered Willian into the advertising hoardings but was not booked. Reuters

• 

  Patrick Bamford (on for Rodrigo, 69’) 6 – Got the final Leeds touch in a goalmouth scramble to reduce the deficit, though it was later credited as an own goal. Getty Images

• 

  Luis Sinisterra (on for Aaronson 69’) 5 – Looked to get Leeds on the front foot as they chased an equaliser. AFP

• 

  Adam Forshaw (on for McKennie, 75’) N/A. Added steel to the midfield. AFP

Leeds United's woeful week was compounded by a 2-1 defeat at Fulham on Saturday that leaves them still perilously poised just above the Premier League relegation zone.

Second-half goals from Harry Wilson and Andreas Pereira lifted Fulham up to ninth to keep Marco Silva's men in the hunt for European football.

Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha was credited with an own goal following a goalmouth scramble.

By contrast, Leeds had shipped 11 goals in losing their two previous games to Crystal Palace and Liverpool and there was little sign of a revival despite a more competitive scoreline.

Leeds remain two points above the drop zone, but have played a game more than the three sides directly below them.
