Setting the scene
Leeds United fans packing the Putney End. The home crowd a lot more sparse at the Hammersmith End. Perfect night for football under the lights on the brand new, but unfinished grandstand on the bank of the Thames.
Positions
Phillips and Cresswell at centre-back. Roberts up front. Rodrigo no 10. Dallas is right back and Shackleton the CDM.
CHANCE FULHAM
2: Muniz puts a header wide from a Kebano cross. Good chance at the back post from a Kebano cross. Kebano not closed down by Dallas and Phillips afforded too much room to Muniz who was only six yards out
