It took until the 94th minute of the fourth game of the season but Fulham have their first win. A spectacular goal it was too – “one in 10,000” – that settled a largely excitement-free affair and it didn’t come from a home player but Marco Silva couldn’t care a jot. You couldn’t say the same for Leeds’ Daniel Farke and, in particular, Gabriel Gudmundsson.
Just when it seemed as if both sides had settled for a point, Kevin, the Brazilian winger signed by Fulham on deadline day, brought the energy that Silva had seen at Shakhtar Donetsk and convinced him to pay £34.6m. His turn and shot produced a flying fingertip save from Karl Darlow. Such were the slim pickings, that in itself was one of the game’s highlights.
