Leeds United drew 0-0 against Fulham.

Former Leeds United striker Noel Whelan has given his verdict on Leeds United’s performance against Fulham.

Whelan says he believes the Whites were good value for their draw, a second successive 0-0 at Elland Road.

It was a disappointing result but Leeds remain unbeaten and Whelan believes they were simply unlucky not to take all three points.

He told BBC Radio Leeds: “I’m really pleased with what I’ve seen this evening, if they can maintain level of performance, this season is there for us.”

Leeds currently have five points but sit inside the top six places in the Championship.

Chris Wood had a goal disallowed for offside in the first half, although Fulham had chances themselves to win it, with Leeds goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald pulling off an impressive late save.

Only three teams have 100 per cent records in the Championship after three games, Ipswich, Wolves and Cardiff.

Two goalless draws are disappointing for Leeds especially after scoring seven goals in their first two league and cup games of the season, and Thomas Christiansen will have to work out how to get the team firing ahead of their trip to Siunderland this weekend.
