Emile Smith Rowe and Adama Traoré struck in the second half as Fulham inflicted a seventh successive Premier League defeat on Leicester. The hosts provided another solid first-half showing but ultimately paid the price for a lack of quality and failed to learn their lessons from their midweek second-half collapse to Crystal Palace in a similar display in front of their own fans.
Their defensive fragility showed after the interval and they conceded early for the second time in the space of a week courtesy of Smith-Rowe’s fourth goal of the campaign. A hostile home atmosphere did not improve Leicester’s performance and Fulham ensured a return to winning ways as the substitute Traoré handed Ruud van Nistelrooy’s relegation-threatened team a seventh loss from his first 10 games in all competitions.
