Fulham march on to their first FA Cup quarterfinal in 13 years. Marco Silva has the Midas Touch it seems as everything on the banks of the Thames is glistening at the minute. For Leeds, they huffed and puffed but couldn’t put the ball in the back of the net. That’s a worry when the other team scores two delicious goals of their own.

That’s it from me. I enjoyed that. Hope you did too. Thanks as always to those of you got in touch.

Here’s Jacob Steinberg’s report from Craven Cottage:

“How about a consoling mention for Leeds. They gave a damn good game got a team at bottom of league.” asks Richard Noble.

They were good in bits but I can’t help but feel that they were their own worst enemies tonight. Fulham scored two great goals but Leeds had the better chances. They were unlucky with one that was disallowed but there were a few opportunities that weren’t taken. Credit to Gracia. His subs made a big difference. Should Bamford had started though?
