Leicester 0-1 Fulham

Fulham secured their third Premier League win on the bounce on Tuesday night, beating Leicester City 1-0 at the King Power Stadium.

Aleksandar Mitrović scored his 11^th goal of the season in the first half to put us ahead, and some heroic defending and goalkeeping meant we kept the hosts out to take another huge three points.

Marco Silva made just the one change to the side that secured a late win over Southampton last weekend, with Tosin returning at the back in place of Issa Diop, who dropped to the substitutes bench.

We started brightly under the King Power lights and created the first decent opening early on. Willian found the overlapping run of Antonee Robinson down the left, whose cross was met by Andreas Pereira. A good block saw the ball bounce out to Willian, who smashed over.

Our Brazilian came even closer just seconds later. Kenny Tete made a brilliant bursting run through midfield before finding the winger, whose low right-footed effort whizzed inches wide of the far post.

Our excellent start was rewarded on the 17-minute mark, courtesy of Mitro. Willian played a simply stunning lofted ball across to our big man, who controlled it perfectly with his chest before calmly finishing. The Leicester back line could do nothing but watch on as the move unfolded.

The hosts were rattled and Mitro could’ve added a second a few minutes later. Bobby De Cordova-Reid powered down the right and found the Serbian with a low cross. He found himself in a great position but couldn’t get a clean connection on the strike.

Despite their quiet start, the Foxes should’ve grabbed a leveller soon after the 20-minute point. Youri Tielemans played a great ball towards Ayoze Pérez at the back-post but he blazed over from close-range. If it had been on target, Bernd Leno would’ve had little chance.

Leno was later called into action with 10 minutes of the half remaining following some neat Leicester build-up play. Jamie Vardy's low square ball from the right looked to be heading straight for Harvey Barnes, but our stopper came diving off his line to intercept.

Leicester continued to grow into the game, with Albrighton's effort from range sliding just wide of the far post. A few of their attackers tried to reach the pacey ball but could only watch it go out for a goal kick.

Mitro's stylish finish was all that separated the two sides at the break.

The first big chance after the break went the way of Leicester. Pérez played an inch-perfect curling ball through to Barnes, but his attempted lob was brilliantly blocked by Leno.

Brendan Rodgers’ men were finding more success than in the first half and we had Leno to thank again not long after. Vardy was fed through, but his low attempt was saved by the legs of the German.

We were riding a storm early in the second half. Tielemans, who has gained a reputation for his long-range shots, tried to curl an effort into the far corner. Leno was at full stretch but the ball floated just wide.

The hosts continued to push for an equaliser, but our defence stood firm as the 75^th minute approached. Leno once again came to the rescue, stretching to his right to parry an effort from Pérez.

Mitro went into the book soon after, and that yellow card means he’ll be unavailable for our upcoming clash with Chelsea.

Leicester were denied by the woodwork with 10 minutes remaining, when Tielemans’ excellent half-volley thundered against the crossbar. Our opponents were being spurred on by the home crowd.

Substitute Harry Wilson had a huge opportunity to add a second as the board revealed that seven minutes would be added. Fellow sub Tom Cairney played a neat ball through to the Welshman, whose little dink over Danny Ward bounced agonisingly wide.

We soaked up all the pressure and took all three points back to the capital.
