Maximilian Wöber made his comeback in the English Premier League on Saturday, but there was nothing to celebrate. Wöber’s Leeds United lost 2-1 away to Fulham for the third time in a row. Wöber played a good month after suffering a thigh injury in the ÖFB team as a left-back.
Fulham’s goals were scored by Harry Wilson (58) and Andreas Pereira (72), conceding 61 and 62 of the season for Leeds, who most recently lost 6-1 to Liverpool and 5-1 to Crystal Palace. An own goal by Joao Palhinha was not enough for Javi Gracia’s “Pafauen” (79th) to score in the third duel of the season.
Wöber and the other ex-Salzburg players Rasmus Kristensen and Brenden Aaronson can expect a tough relegation battle in the coming weeks. Next up are direct rivals Leicester and Bournemouth, followed by higher caliber Manchester City, Newcastle and Tottenham.
