FULL-TIME: FULHAM 2-0 LEEDS UNITED.
90' +1
We're into two minutes of added time, as Fulham's place in the FA Cup quarter-finals ticks ever closer...
90'
K. Tete enters the game and replaces Cédric Soares.
Cedric comes off having been impressive in his first start for Fulham, and Kenny Tete will replace the Portuguese at right-back.
89'
Vinicius and Koch go shoulder-to-shoulder as the Fulham substitute tries to run through on goal, but he's eventually penalised for fouling the centre-back and Leeds win the free-kick.
Firpo's ball forward is flicked wide to Harrison, and his cross to Bamford looks a threatening one, but Ream nips in to head the ball away!
88'
Adams shows great anticipation to win the ball high up the field, but Bamford's return pass finds neither him nor Summerville and Fulham are able to cut the ball out and clear!
85'
Leeds leave gaps at the back as they push on for a consolation goal, and Willian is released behind Kristensen. The Dane recovers though to win the ball back, but concedes a corner in the process.
84'
Willian tees up Robinson to cross into the area, but the ball comes back to the Brazilian, who shapes to shoot before being dispossessed by Ayling.
82'
Willian enters the game and replaces H. Wilson.
Harry Wilson is also replaced, and Willian, who scored at against Leeds at Elland Road in this season's Premier League, will see out the game in his place.
81'
H. Reed enters the game and replaces João Palhinha.
B. De Cordova-Reid enters the game and replaces M. Solomon.
A triple change coming for Fulham, the first of which sees second, and likely sealing goalscorer Solomon replaced by Bobby De Cordova-Reid.
Palhinha's thunderbolt of an opener sent Fulham on their way, and the ever-impressive summer signing is replaced late on by Harrison Reed.
80'
Leeds fly forward again and Aaronson's throughball puts Summerville in behind. He looks to square for Bamford, but Ream slides across to block the ball behind for a corner, and Leeds just can't catch a break at the moment!

Description
76'
Leeds come forward in numbers and Harrison jinks inside from the left wing. He has plenty of options to aim at but chooses to shoot instead, almost clearing the roof of the stadium with a wild shot over the bar!
74'
B. Aaronson enters the game and replaces Marc Roca.
Roca is next off for the visitors, as Brenden Aaronson joins the action to give Leeds an all-American midfield trio.
72'
Robinson is, understandably, urged to shoot by the home crowd and does so from 20 yards, but Ayling gets in the way to block the ball behind for a Cottagers corner.
71'
Harrison picks out Bamford in the box, who's clever touch takes him beyond Ream, but the linesman had already flagged against a retreating Summerville and so play comes back for a Fulham free-kick.
69'
Carlos Vinícius enters the game and replaces A. Mitrović.
Mitrovic has been lively and involved in everything on his return to the side, and comes off now for Carlos Vinicius having set up the Cottagers' second goal.
67'
Adams is dispossessed in midfield and Lukic's long throughball has Wilson bearing down on it, but Meslier charges a mile out of his box to hoof the ball back from whence it came.
65'
Wilson wins the ball down the right and squares for Mitrovic in the box. He turns and looks to lay it off for Solomon, but Ayling intercepts and clears!
64'
Gnonto also comes off having struggled to create much down a packed left channel, and he'll be replaced by Jack Harrison.
63'
P. Bamford enters the game and replaces G. Rutter.
J. Harrison enters the game and replaces W. Gnonto.
Rutter has been arguably Leeds' brightest spark so far, and was harshly denied a first-half opener. He comes off now though, with Patrick Bamford on to lead the line.
56'
M. Solomon has scored a goal for Fulham! Assist by A. Mitrović.
The lay-off from Mitrovic was exactly what the winger wanted, and the Israel international did the rest to fire in Fulham's second spectacular goal of the match!
GOOOOAAAALLL!!! It's another sumptuous finish, and Fulham are in firm control now!!! A cross from the right is only head half-clear by Ayling, and Solomon recovers it. He plays a one-two with Mitrovic, before curling a peach of an effort into the far corner!! A fantastic goal from a player bang in-form, and Fulham lead 2-0!!
55'
Leeds are caught short on the break and Mitrovic's wide pass finds Wilson on the fly. He crosses into the centre with options arriving, but Koch's defensive header glances the ball away from danger!
47'
Roca glides through midfield and attempts to release Rutter, but his throughball is overhit and Rodak races out of his net to gather it.
46'
Rutter gets things back up and running at Craven Cottage, and he'll certainly be hoping for a better stroke of luck or two in the second half!
45' +3
HALF-TIME: FULHAM 1-0 LEEDS UNITED.
45' +1
We'll play three more minutes of added time to close out this close-run first half!
McKennie and Gnonto play a one-two in the Fulham box, but the American's shot from the return ball is blocked away by his countryman Ream!
45'
The ball is loose in midfield and Pereira finds Robinson making a searing run into the box. His cross is halted by Kristensen, and Ayling is fouled while attempting to clear, gifting Leeds a free-kick.
44'
Solomon beats three players on his way to the byline, but his cross is deflected behind by Adams for a Fulham corner.
42'
Gnonto looks to have a run at Cedric but is bowled over from his right by Palhinha, who is arguably lucky to not see further action!
40'
A cross-field pass finds Cedric on the edge of the area, and he lets fly from a similar distance to Palhinha, only for Firpo to dive in the way of his shot and block it clear!
38'
Adams shrugs off Mitrovic before being felled by the goalscorer Palhinha, and Leeds will get a chance to restore parity with a free-kick to be crossed into the box.
36'
Fulham are playing in the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 2016-17, and last reached the quarter-final of the competition in 2009-10, beating Notts County 4-0 in that year's fifth round.
34'
McKennie clips a ball over the top for Rutter to chase, but Adarabioyo holds him off well to win possession back for the hosts.
33'
Wilson cuts across several challenges before finding Pereira, whose cross to the back post is missed by Mitrovic and sails just wide!
27'
Cedric cuts inside and spreads the ball left, with Solomon finding Robinson. His cut-back has Mitrovic ready to pounce, but Kristensen slides in to get to the ball first and Ayling clears!
Summerville ghosts in behind Ream to latch onto Gnonto's cross-field pass, but after stretching to keep the ball in play can only find Adarabioyo with his cross.
25'
Leeds win a free-kick in a dangerous area but look to play the ball wide, and Kristensen's eventual cross doesn't beat the first man as Fulham easily deal with the threat.
21'
João Palhinha has scored a goal for Fulham!
GOOOOOAAAAALLL!!!! What a hit that was!!! Fulham lose the ball in midfield but Palhinha quickly wins it back, before unleashing a 30-yard pinger that catches Meslier off-guard as it sails into the top corner!!! The ambition to try his luck from there, and boy did it pay off as Fulham thunder into a 1-0 lead!
19'
Solomon steps in and away from Adams down the left, and goes down on the edge of the box, but the referee tells him to stand back up as he calls for Leeds to play on!
17'
Firpo and Wilson again tussle in the near-side corner, with the Fulham winger reckoning he's won a corner, only for both referee and linesman to point for a goal kick instead!
14'
Adams finds McKennie down the left, who takes on Cedric, and does well to win Leeds a corner via a deflection off the on-loan Fulham right-back.
12'
Summerville is down injured and receives lengthy treatment, and has to leave the pitch for further inspection as Jack Harrison warms up on the touchline.
7'
Gnonto cuts inside from the left and chips over the top of the defence, looking for Summerville. Robinson tracks him though, and nods the aerial ball back to Rodak.
6'
Wilson chases a long pass down the right from Lukic, but Firpo shrugs him off the ball and passes back to Meslier in the Leeds goal.
5'
Robinson attempts to find Mitrovic with a cross to the edge of the box, but Kristensen steps in first to clear the ball away for Leeds.

Pereira kicks off for Fulham, and this all-Premier League tie in the FA Cup fifth round is underway!
Fulham are flying high at the moment, currently sat sixth in their first season back in the Premier League. They needed a replay to get past Championship side Sunderland in the fourth round, winning 3-2 at the Stadium of Light after a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage.
Hello, and welcome to live coverage of this FA Cup fifth round tie, as Fulham face Leeds United at Craven Cottage.
Leeds only required the one match to get past League 1 side Accrington Stanley in the fourth round. The top-flight strugglers won 3-1 at the Wham Stadium to book a fifth-round tie for the first time in seven seasons. The Whites won their first game under new coach Javi Gracia against Southampton in the Premier League, and will be hoping to follow suit in the capital.
LEEDS UNITED SUBS: Joel Robles, Brenden Aaronson, Patrick Bamford, Jack Harrison, Sonny Perkins, Darko Gyabi, Diogo Monteiro, Mateo Joseph, Archie Gray.
LEEDS UNITED (4-3-3): Illan Meslier; Rasmus Kristensen, Luke Ayling, Robin Koch, Junior Firpo; Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, Marc Roca; Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter, Wilfried Gnonto.
FULHAM SUBS: Bernd Leno, Kenny Tete, Shane Duffy, Harrison Reed, Bobby De Cordova-Reid, Willian, Carlos Vinicius, Issa Diop, Luke Harris.
FULHAM (4-2-3-1): Marek Rodak; Cedric Soares, Tosin Adarabioyo, Tim Ream, Antonee Robinson; Sasa Lukic, Joao Palhinha; Harry Wilson, Andreas Pereira, Manor Solomon; Aleksandar Mitrovic.
The teams head out of the tunnel at Craven Cottage, and we're just seconds away from kick-off here!
We're back for the second half, and with no replays at this stage of the FA Cup, the impetus is on Leeds to find at least one goal to turn the game in their favour, force extra-time, or maybe even go to penalties!
That's all from us, we hope you enjoyed the game! Until the next one, goodbye!
Fulham's impressive season continues as they march into the last eight of the FA Cup. It's their first time doing this since 2010 - a season in which they also reached the Europa League final. That's not within their reach this season, but with Wembley on the horizon, Fulham fans may just be daring to dream of a very exciting final few months of the campaign. Leeds will be disappointed not to be progressing, but having played very well for large periods of the game, know that the performance will stand them in good stead for the nail-biting relegation battle that lies ahead.
