Leeds slip to 13th in table ahead of Sunderland clash
Leeds United - who Sunderland visit on Saturday - slipped to 13th place in the Championship after last night’s 2-0 defeat at Fulham.
The Cottagers remained in third place as they push for promotion to the top flight.
Fulham took the lead in the 33rd minute when Kevin McDonald bundled in Matt Targett’s flicked-on corner after the ball hit him on the back.
They added a second in the 63rd minute when Alexsandar Mitrovic calmly placed the ball past goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
Leeds finished the game with 10 men, defender Matthew Pennington forced off due to injury in the 86th minute with all substitutes already used.
Championship leaders Wolves dropped points against Hull as they were held to a 2-2 draw at Molineux.
Wolves took the lead after Diogo Jota converted a penalty he won in the 18th minute when he was brought down by Michael Hector, but Hull were back on terms shortly before the break.
David Meyler levelled in the 37th minute from the spot after he was fouled before Hull took the lead thanks to Ryan Bennett’s own goal.
However, the leaders equalised three minutes later through Oskar Buur Rasmussen’s 83rd-minute header.
Aston Villa remained firmly in the play-off places after a 3-0 victory over Reading. Birkir Bjarnason and Conor Hourihane had them 2-0 up after Paul Clement’s side had been reduced to 10 men following David Edwards’ 30thminute dismissal.
Scott Hogan added the third in the 70th minute as Villa wrapped up the win.
