Stunning goals from Joao Palhinha and Manor Solomon gave Fulham a 2-0 home win over Leeds to send them into the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time in 13 years.
Palhinha’s first-half 30-yard screamer put Fulham ahead in the 21st minute and was followed by another superb strike in the second half (56) as Solomon curled in from the edge of the box to score for the fourth consecutive game.
The pair of wonder goals inflicted a first defeat for new Leeds boss Javi Gracia who will now turn his attentions to keeping the Whites in the Premier League with the club sitting just one point above the relegation zone.
The Spaniard will be encouraged with elements of the performance, however, with Leeds having several chances at Craven Cottage, including two disallowed goals and an effort off the post.
Fulham’s season, meanwhile, goes from strength to strength with Marco Silva’s side now unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions and are dreaming of lifting the FA Cup for the first time.
