Willian hails Mitrovic as Fulham stun Leeds at Elland Road

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch faces an uncertain future after Fulham came from behind to claim a win at Elland Road that leaves the Whites in in the Premier League bottom three and without a win in eight games.

Second-half goals from Bobby Decordova-Reid and Willian sealed the game for the Cottagers - the former steering a header before the latter scored from close range to provoke mutiny among the home crowd.

The last 10 minutes were played out to the sound of chants against Marsch and the club's board with the final whistle greeted by boos from around the ground.

Willian later said, "It feels very good, an unbelievable feeling [to score]. I think we deserved to win. We created so many chances to win this game and we all showed our quality, that we have to always play together with and without the ball and we did that today. It's not easy to play here against them.

"You have to go step by step, game by game, week by week. Next week we have another difficult game to play so let's do it."

On Aleksandar Mitrovic's record this season, he added: "He's a proper striker. I'm happy for him, I hope we continue in this way, everyone, not only him. We have to carry on."
