Leeds United's Jack Harrison casts verdict on playing behind-closed-doors at Elland Road

Jack Harrison says Leeds United tried to not let an empty Elland Road effect the Whites performance against Fulham but conceded it was a 'different' experience.

Marcelo Bielsa's side ran out 3-0 winners in LS11 on Saturday afternoon as they landed a huge blow to Scott Parker's men in the race for automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Patrick Bamford, Gjanni Alioski and Jack Harrison all struck to seal three points for United before Neeskens Kebano was handed his marching orders for the visitors in added time.

With the victory Leeds hit top spot in the division and opened up an eight-point cushion over third-placed Brentford with seven games to go.

The Cottagers visit was the first time Leeds were playing on home soil following the Championship's restart a little over a week ago after a three month hiatus amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Elland Road appeared an eerie figure with the usual matchday experience for supporters and players alike put on hold until further notice due to public safety concerns.

Bielsa's men, though, adapted well to conditions as they secured victory in style but Harrison admitted post-match that it was a huge shame fans couldn't be in the stadium to witness the performance.

"It's been a little different," Harrison told Sky Sports about playing without a crowd.

"We try not to let things like that effect the game and how we play. It's the same for everyone so you just have to try and get on with it.

"It's a real shame the fans can't be here with a result like that, we know exactly what the atmosphere would've been like.

"We'll just have to manage with the speakers and the cardboard cut outs for now."
