"He didn't get an awful lot of service. Didn't get a lot of service, don't get me wrong. He had one opportunity with the header. He hit the target but you've got to score. When you're in the Leeds team, you're not gonna create loads and loads of chances. When that one chance comes, a header from seven-yards out, you have to take it."
"Some of the blame for the result has been laid at the feet of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who signed in the summer as a free agent. The former Everton man, who has yet to score this season, was largely ineffective in west London, before he was replaced by Lukas Nmecha on 69 minutes. It has not been the best start to life at Elland Road for Calvert-Lewin, although it is still very early in his Leeds career. He has time to start performing, but every week that he fails to do so, the pressure will crank up"
Leeds remain without an away point after a 1-0 defeat at Fulham. Gabriel Gudmundsson's 94th-minute own goal decided the match. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, signed in the summer as a free agent from Everton, has yet to score this season and was largely ineffective during the game. Calvert-Lewin was substituted for Lukas Nmecha on 69 minutes. Observers judged that Calvert-Lewin received limited service and squandered a close-range header opportunity. The forward's slow start at Elland Road increases scrutiny and the pressure will grow as Nmecha pushes for the starting striker position.
