Fulham made history on Saturday night as they reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for the first time since 2010. The Cottagers produced a stunning performance to defeat Leeds United 2-1 at Craven Cottage, with goals from Aboubakar Kamara and Aleksandar Mitrovic.
The game started off slowly, with both sides struggling to create chances in the first half. Leeds had the better of the possession, but Fulham looked the more dangerous side going forward. In the second half, however, it was a different story.
Fulham took the lead in the 53rd minute when Kamara fired home a brilliant volley from outside the box. The goal was a sign of things to come, as Fulham began to dominate the game. They doubled their lead in the 65th minute when Mitrovic scored a spectacular overhead kick. Leeds pulled one back late on through Jack Harrison, but it was too little too late.
The result marked the first time that Javi Gracia has tasted defeat as Leeds manager. He had previously gone unbeaten in his first 10 games in charge of the club, but Fulham proved too strong on the night.
It was a memorable night for Fulham, who will now face either Manchester City or Sheffield United in the quarter-finals. The Cottagers have been in good form recently, and this result will give them a huge boost ahead of their next game.
