Fulham got back to winning ways as Leicester fans turned on the team after a seventh straight defeat in the Premier League.

Leicester opened the game well, almost taking the lead twice in the opening ten minutes. From that point on, it was all Fulham.

It took until the second half for the deadlock to be broken when Emile Smith Rowe bundled the ball in to score his first goal since November. 

A chorus of boos rang around the stadium when Bilal El Khannous was taken off with 25 minutes to go.

Adama Traore soured the mood even further when his well-taken goal gave Fulham a two-goal lead minutes later.

The game fizzled out after the second goal, with only Fulham coming Close to scoring when Rodrigo Muniz missed the target from close range.

The three points take Fulham back up to ninth, only four points off the European places.

After a good performance at the King Power, here are the player ratings.

Fulham 

Bernd Leno - 7.5

The German shot-stopper didn’t cover himself in glory on Tuesday night against West Ham, but he was back to his best against Leicester. Leno made a few crucial saves, especially Jordan Ayew’s shot in the opening minute of the game.

Timothy Castagne - 6.5

On his return to the King Power, the fullback struggled, especially in the first half when he misjudged a cross, forcing Leno into a good save. The Belgian international grew in the second half, looking much more comfortable when Fulham dominated the game.

Joachim Andersen - 7

The Dane has struggled since returning from injury but dealt with Jamie Vardy's threat and looked comfortable on the ball.

Calvin Bassey - 7 

He almost opened the scoring with a drilled shot that just went wide of the post. The Nigerian dominated in the air, winning seven of his eight duels.

Antonee Robinson - 7.5

His energy allowed Fulham to always get forward on the counter, with his bursting runs forcing the Leicester defence backwards. He was solid defensively, preventing Ayew from impacting the game.

Sasa Lukic - 8 

He looks much more comfortable as the box-to-box midfielder with Sander Berge beside him. He picked up another assist for the opening goal and was unlucky not to get a second when Rodrigo Muniz missed a great chance. He received his ninth yellow of the season, putting him one away from a two-game suspension. 

Sander Berge - 8 

For the past few games, the Fulham team has lacked control in the midfield. Berge bought the control back. In his first game back from injury, the midfielder dominated, easily winning possession back and taking the pressure off the back four. He was calm in possession, playing the easy pass to the more creative players.

Harry Wilson - 8 

He was involved in the opener with his inventive flick across the box, eventually falling to Smith Rowe. The winger set up the second with a beautiful cross to Adama Traore. He was brilliant on the ball and rarely made the wrong choice. 

Emile Smith Rowe - 7.5 

He had a poor first half, looking slow and sluggish on the ball, stopping Fulham’s fast counterattacks. His goal was a brave header, as he bundled the ball home. After the goal, his performance improved dramatically, as he looked more confident, getting himself more involved in the game.

Alex Iwobi - 7 

He looked a threat as he drove at the Leicester defence several times but struggled to create a chance at the end of it. He was substituted at halftime, and Marco Silva said after the game that he was struggling with the flu. 

Raul Jimenez - 6.5 

When Fulham were in crossing positions, he seemed to always be on the edge or outside the box. His build-up play was brilliant, but he struggled to get involved near the Leicester goal.

Substitutes 

Adama Traore - 7.5

He looked brilliant when he came on, and he had the confidence to always take on his man. His goal was a wonderful finish on the volley that sealed the game.

Rodrigo Muniz - 6 

He should have made it three late on but missed the target completely.

Tom Cairney - 6.5 

He brought calmness to the game, and his ability to keep the ball helped Fulham see out the game.
