For the first time since April 2004<\/a>, Leeds have won their first Premier League match as they edged to an entertaining 4-3 run over Fulham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hosts took the lead early at Elland Road on when Helder Costa crashed the ball in-off the bar but Aleksandar Mitrovic equalised with a penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Whites then got a penalty of their own, which Mateusz Klich calmly slotted away and then Marcelo Bielsa\u2019s men turned on the style shortly after the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patrick Bamford got his second goal of the season with a tidy right-footed strike and Costa added another one on the counter-attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Scott Parker\u2019s side came roaring back. A goal by Bobby Reid and Mitrovic\u2019s header set up a tense finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Leeds held on to taste a Premier League three points for the first time since winning 2-1 at Blackburn over 16 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last season\u2019s Championship winners earned plenty of fans for\u00a0pushing Premier League champions Liverpool all the way<\/a>\u00a0last weekend and they made a typically fast start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leeds United<\/strong>: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Dallas, Phillips, Helder Costa, Rodrigo (Roberts 46), Klich, Harrison, Bamford (Alioski 70).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subs not used: Poveda-Ocampo, Struijk, Caprile, Bogusz, Shackleton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fulham<\/strong>: Areola, Tete, Hector, Odoi, Bryan, Zambo, Reed (Lemina 70), Kamara (Kebano 58), Onomah (Reid 58), Ivan Cavaleiro, Mitrovic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
