2 hours ago 1

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Leeds and Fulham.

Here are some of your comments:

Leeds fans

Peter: These are the games Leeds were losing by the odd late goal earlier in the season - finding a way to win tight contests like this is key to survival.

Eric: This game showed why we still miss a dedicated striker who can score goals. However, we needed three points and that is what we came away with, so not going to be overly critical. Our future is still in our own hands and that is what counts.

Andy: A win built on hard graft and teamwork. Interesting to hear Daniel Farke talk about his efforts to create a tight squad full of humble, selfless and hard-working players - those three vital qualities Don Revie instilled into his great teams of the 70s. Well-deserved win.

Andrew: Every game is a cup tie until we are safe, but it's enjoyable to watch despite the white knuckle ride at times. It's objectively clear to see that we are playing like a mid-table team and deserve to be in the Premier League. Can't wait to see Facundo Buonanotte in a white shirt and hoping for more good business before the window closes. Once the turf has been cut on the Elland Road ground redevelopment, I will be fully convinced we are back and aiming for Europe.

Fulham fans

James: That was an awful performance from Fulham. Leeds controlled the entire game and then delivered the final blow like we did back in September. Hopefully all the players coming back from Afcon will help us pick up three points against Brighton.

Max: Way too casual in defence, too slow in getting back and tracking the runs of the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha. We will be grateful to have Calvin Bassey back for the next game to help us with that as Issa Diop, Joachim Andersen and Jorge Cuence are too slow. Some good play, but not enough. Outplayed by a promoted side in good form.

Simon: Fulham were pathetic the whole game - toothless up front, continually playing out from the back and almost losing possession! Worst performance this season.

Richard: Poor performance after an unbeaten Christmas period, not helped by Marco Silva unnecessary tinkering with a winning team. Fulham should have played with the back five that beat Chelsea and drew with Liverpool. Leeds deserved it.
