Leeds United 2-3 Fulham highlights: Press conference updates as Jesse Marsch under increasing pressure
and live on Freeview channel 276
Leeds face Fulham this afternoon at Elland Road with the Whites looking to end a seven-match winless run.
Jesse Marsch insisted Leeds need to find ‘goals’ this weekend having gone without finding the net in three of their last four matches. Defeat at bottom-dwelling Leicester City in midweek prompted mutinous chants from the away end at the King Power Stadium, while previous head coach Marcelo Bielsa’s name was sung by the 3,000 travelling fans.

Pascal Struijk faces a late fitness test to be ready for today’s game having missed Thursday night’s defeat in the East Midlands. Marsch is expected to make changes to his starting XI, recalling captain Liam Cooper and Jack Harrison who began on the bench in midweek.

Leeds United 2-3 Fulham live: Score updates as Fulham come from behind
Marsch on style
We’re so anxious to play forward so quickly, the game opens up and it’s difficult in those transition moments. Sometimes we’re anxious to find a goal, make the play and then it gets more difficult.
Marsch on the game
They’re a team with confidence and find ways to win. We find ways to lose. We’re a little in the balance on our confidence.
Marsch is here
I think we had a really good start. We wanted to get the lead, bring our fans into the game. Disappointment at a set-piece, Mitrovic got away, we find ways to hurt ourselves again.
Silva continued
Always good setup, always good combinations, we did it really well. Not all the game, sometimes the pressure didn’t allow us to do it. I am delighted for our players and our fans.
Silva on result
Great win for us and well-deserved. We were the best team on the pitch. We knew before the match what it means to play at Elland Road. It’s a place you really feel in some moments they play with an extra man - the crowd. They are really supportive and can push the team forward.
