'I've aged 15 years' - Leeds United fans share their relief after dramatic Fulham victory

Leeds United fans have voiced their relief after avoiding a second-half collapse against Fulham to run out 4-3 winners.

The Whites led 2-1 at the break thanks to goals from Helder Costa and Mateusz Klich, with Aleksandar Mitrovic netting a controversial penalty for Fulham in between.

Patrick Bamford and a second Costa strike put Marcelo Bielsa's side in cruise control and seemingly coasting towards a first Premier League victory of the season.

However, with shades of their capitulations against Cardiff City in the Championship, Fulham pulled two quick-fire goals back with Mitrovic and Bobby Reid making for a nervy finish at Elland Road.

Unlike their 3-3 draw with the Bluebirds last season, Leeds hung on for the win and found themselves on the correct side of a 4-3 scoreline after last weekend's chaotic, narrow defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.

After yet another blockbuster match in successive weeks, Leeds fans voiced their delight at claiming a first Premier League win of the season after threatening to throw the result away.

Here's a look at what they had to say on social media.

Leeds face Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United on Sunday next and could face the short trip to Bramall Lane without the services of Pablo Hernandez, who pulled out of the squad in today's warm-up with a groin strain.
