It was a late Gabriel Gudmundsson own goal that inflicted a 1-0 defeat on Leeds when they met Fulham back in September.

In recent weeks, Leeds have looked a far cry from the side that left Craven Cottage empty-handed.
Daniel Farke's decision to shift to a back three in late November has transformed their season and had them go on a seven-game unbeaten run in the Premier League.
That momentum was briefly halted at St James' Park last week in a 4-3 defeat by Newcastle.
So the onus was firmly on Leeds to bounce back against an in-form Fulham - and bounce back they did.
The transformed version of Leeds was again on show at Elland Road on Saturday and just like in the reverse fixture, it was again decided by a last-gasp winner - this time from Lukas Nmecha in favour of Farke's side.
After an underwhelming first half, Leeds were on top of Fulham after the break, restricting the visitors to only three shots while attempting nine.
Though they remain eight points from the drop zone after West Ham's shock win against Tottenham, Leeds have now scored in nine league home fixtures in a row and are unbeaten in five matches at Elland Road.
And there were more positives to take from this victory for Farke, who witnessed his side keep a clean sheet on home soil for the first time since their first two home games of the season.
