As far as results elsewhere go, Leeds United couldn't have really hoped for a better night. That could all be undone if they lose against West Ham United on Wednesday, but for now it's a welcome boost heading into their vital clash at Elland Road.
Leicester City continued their dismal spell of form since the Premier League return with a third defeat in a row. Aleksandar Mitrovic's 17th minute strike proved decisive as Fulham climbed into seventh with a 1-0 win. The Foxes, hold a slender one-point advantage in 13th place over Leeds, who boast two games in hand over them.
AFC Bournemouth, who are directly below Leeds in 15th due to their inferior goal difference, passed up the chance to move above them after they were comfortably beaten 3-0 by Manchester United at Old Trafford.
