Fulham 2-0 Leeds United highlights: Whites bow out of the FA Cup after Palhinha and Solomon stunners
and live on Freeview channel 276
Fresh from a much-needed league win at the weekend, Leeds are back in action tonight and return to the capital eyeing a place in the last eight of this year’s FA Cup.
Junior Firpo was the match-winner last Saturday, slotting beyond Southampton goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu in the 77th minute at Elland Road as the Whites secured a 1-0 victory. New head coach Javi Gracia was in the dugout for the first time and will be hoping to make it two wins from two this evening.

Fulham 2-0 Leeds United LIVE
Correct call
19' Solomon goes over Ayling's leg and wants a free-kick right on the edge of Leeds' area. Referee tells him to get to his feet.
Goal cancelled
15’ Goal ruled out. Rutter taps in from close range at a corner but referee Kavanagh immediately cancels it out for a McKennie push on Wilson. Harsh.
Stoppage in play
11 - Summerville down, Ayling plays the ball out. Winger asking for treatment. He’s back on now.
8' Good little breakaway by Leeds. Ayling intercepts Ream's pass, sets Summerville free who drives infield and picks out McKennie. American sidesteps one challenge and attempts the through-ball for Summerville which runs into Rodak's grasp.
7' Ball clipped to the back post for Summerville but he can't bring it down and the chance goes begging. Nothing much separating the two teams so far.
