Whites must 'keep it rolling' insists Nmecha after match-winning strike
Yorkshire Evening Post
|January 20, 2026
Lukas Nmecha has laid down a challenge to Leeds United as they look to build on the dramatic late win against Fulham.
The Germany international joined the Whites on a free transfer after leaving Wolfsburg during the summer and made an almost immediate impact as his penalty helped Daniel Farke's men mark their return to the Premier League with a narrow 1-0 home win against Everton.
Nmecha hit a strong run of form in November as he found the net in three consecutive games as his side fell to defeats against Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa and Manchester City - but then failed to score in his following four appearances after returning from a hamstring injury.
But that all changed on Saturday as the versatile forward came off the bench with nine minutes remaining to grab the only goal of the game in the Whites' win over Fulham and that ensured Farke's side avenged an agonisingly late defeat they suffered in the return fixture.
