The Swedish defender, under no real pressure, conspired to nod a Ryan Sessegnon corner into his own net.

It is one of the most baffling own goals you will see.

That moment of madness cost Leeds what would have been a well deserved point.

But they can only blame themselves for not taking their chances.

They still have only managed one goal this season — a Lukas Nmecha penalty in the 1-0 win against Everton.

It is worry that they have not scored in open play in 360 minutes of Prem football — and is why the German boss has been crying out for reinforcements in the forward line.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin was only able to head straight at Bernd Leno when he met a lovely Brenden Aaronson cross.

While Sean Longstaff cracked the crossbar with a shot from distance — and Aaronson himself had an angled effort kept out by the Fulham keeper.

Fulham record-signing — £34.6million man Kevin — started on the bench after joining from Shakhtar on transfer deadline day and did not come on until the final 14 minutes.

And he almost scored a stunner when his long-range shot was kept out by Darlow.

Wilson — who had been linked with a move to Leeds during the summer — was the only change made by Silva from their last game at Chelsea, coming in for Tim Castagme.

Calvert-Lewin made his first Leeds start as Farke opted to make five changes from the goalless draw at Newcastle before the international break.

In came Ethan Ampadu, Aaronson, Anton Stach, Noah Okafor and Darlow.

Leeds had a huge chance to move in front when Calvin-Lewin managed to find himself unmarked to meet a superb Aaronson cross — but he was only able to head straight at Leno.

Neither side had got into a proper rhythm.

The visitors were looking to get the ball up quick towards their frontmen but Fulham were comfortably dealing with that approach.

But the Cottagers were struggling to create anything to trouble Darlow — who was making his first Prem appearance in almost four years with first-choice Lucas Perri injured.

Noah Okafor played a couple of nice stepovers before the ball fell to Stach but his effort was charged down.

Jayden Bogle charged down the right flank and attempted an ambitious effort from an angle but it was deflected out for a corner.

Leeds were denied going in front on the stroke of half-time when Longstaff left fly from 25 yards after running on to a Calvert-Lewin header.

 header but his effort clipped the top of the bar.

And Fulham keeper Leno denied the visitors going in front at the start of the second half.

With torrential rain and even hail lashing down on Craven Cottage Aaronson’s angled effort was kept out.

And then Kenny Tete and Calvin Bassey both slid in to block Okafor, who looked set to pull the trigger 15 yards out.

Bogle also saw an effort charged down after he was allowed to run forward without being challenged.

Darlow then made a fantastic save to keep out a curling Wilson effort that was destined for the top left corner.

That was to be Wilson’s last action as he was hauled off by Silva along with Josh King, who were replaced by Emile Smith Rowe and Adama Traore.

Fulham had been controlling the ball well without making many inroads.

And they finally got the crowd off their seats.

First Gabriel Gudmundsson was turned by Alex Iwobi and Joachim Anderson’s cross was met by Muniz.

But his downward header was kept out by Darlow.

Then Smith Rowe burst through before his shot was pushed on to the post by Darlow.

Finally Silva opted to throw on Kevin with 14 minutes left.

And he almost brought the house down with a ripper that Darlow tipped over.

But then came Gudmundsson’s moment of madness to give Fulham victory.

Morning Live star Helen Skelton had some warm words for her Channel 5 co-star as she shared a gushy tribute post that he has since responded to

Morning Live star Helen Skelton has took to Instagram with a joyful post to pay tribute to her beloved co-star while confirming to fans she’d be taking a brief break.

The TV star, who is mum to three adorable children Louis, Ernie and Elsie, has been so busy with filming commitments that she’s vowed to “switch off” her phone as she returns to her family life.

It’s clearly been a hectic period for the former Strictly star, with many projects in the pipeline, including her newest on-screen adventure alongside former BBC Breakfast star Dan Walker.

The pair have been dazzling their loyal legion of fans with their show Yorkshire Great and Small with Dan and Helen – which is still available to stream on My5.

Much to the delight of fans Helen had good news to also share, announcing that her show with Dan had been greenlit for a another series and would be returning the channel in September.

Announcing the joyful information, she took to Instagram with an slew of happy snaps alongside the Channel 5 newsreader, while paying tribute to Dan, the crew and confirmed filming had now finished.

Helen told her followers: “That’s a WRAP… Snatched a load of afternoons to wander around Yorkshire with this legend. Met some epic people. Ate some sensational food. Celebrated some stunning landscapes that hopefully give you some ideas for adventures. Laughed A LOT.”

The Morning Live host confirmed: “Series starts @channel5_tv in September,” and offered up some kind words: “Thanks to the hardest working man in the game for always making me belly laugh @mrdanwalker at the most ridiculous things.

“Thanks to a crew who have become family over the last few years and for humouring our self proclaimed glorious nonsense.”

She signed off the post, adding: “Phone and shoes off for the foreseeable,” alerting her fans that she would be taking a well deserved break for the time being.

Helen’s co-star, Dan was quick to respond to her post, pointing out a major detail before any misconceptions were formed. In the abundance of pictures shared, one image saw the pair cosied up outside what appeared to be some kind of castle or church.

Dispelling rumours before they even began to swirl, Dan replied: “Just for clarity… the last photo is not a wedding snap. Thank you my friend for so many fun afternoons. You are a wonderful human to be around.”

Fans appeared to be too elated over the happy news that their show would be returning to screens and appeared to not even notice the last snap of the pack.

Racing to the post, masses joined in with celebration: One person penned: “Dynamic duo are back.”

Another online user beamed: “Love this programme look forward to it,” as a third stated: “Fantastic can’t wait to view it,” while a fourth wrote: “You two are a good partnership, always a pleasure to watch.”

In the 1990s, chicken Caesar wraps dominated lunchtime menus. Aside from the comforting hit of nostalgia for a simpler time, I don’t remember them fondly. Often soggy, laden with too much dressing and scant, dry chicken, it was the kind of unfortunate premade meal you’d eat alone at an airport cafe.

So you can imagine my surprise to see the Y2K-era sandwich having a sudden renaissance at popular restaurants around Los Angeles. But this time, it’s back with some much-needed upgrades: Reputed L.A. chefs and sandwich shops are finally doing the dish justice by using high-quality ingredients and adding their own signature touches — from organic fried chicken to chunks of falafel instead of croutons.

While Angelenos’ love affair with the Caesar salad has been ongoing since Italian chef Caesar Cardini debuted it in Tijuana in the 1920s, the inventor of the chicken Caesar wrap is a bit more mysterious. California Chicken Cafe opened in 1991 on Melrose Avenue and added a chicken Caesar wrap to its menu soon after in 1993. In 1997, fast food chain Wendy’s added its take to the menu (they’ve since been discontinued), giving the wrap nationwide exposure.

At Ggiata, an East Coast-style deli with five locations across L.A., the chicken Caesar wrap is inspired by the ones that co-founders and childhood friends Noah Holton-Raphael, Max Bahramipour and Jack Biebel grew up eating in New Jersey sandwich shops.

“Every neighborhood sandwich shop had a Caesar wrap on the menu — and if they didn’t then, they definitely do now,” said Holton-Raphael.

Since Ggiata launched its viral version in March 2024, the trend has picked up serious steam, inspiring iconic restaurants like Mini Kabob and Casa Vega to add the wrap to their menus.

No longer an afterthought, L.A.’s chicken Caesar wraps are made to order with ingredients like herb-blackened chicken, grain-free tortillas and house-made dressing that borrows inspiration from the salad’s Mexican origins. Here are 12 excellent chicken Caesar wraps (including one made with a baguette) to try around L.A. right now.

It’s an end of an era as Neighbours cast members film their final scenes of the Australian soap opera as cast member break their silence on the show ending after four decades

Neighbours has officially wrapped with the cast filming their last day at at Nunawading studios.

This chapter of the iconic Australian soap opera will be brought to a close in December 2025, celebrating over 40 years of entertainment, heart, and history.

Amazon had previously saved the soap in 2022 with it returning the following year, but sadly the deal has now come to an end.

Cast members have been sharing their memories of the soap which recently turned 40, with Paul Robinson actor Stefan Dennis saying: “I never thought a single show would give me the greatest adventures of my career, spanning 40 years.

“Without Neighbours I would not have meet the people, been to the places and lived the experiences of a lifetime. Thank you all.”

Susan Kennedy actress Jackie Woodburne continued: “It’s impossible to measure the gratitude I feel for the gift of 30 years on Neighbours.

“To do so I would have to calculate the number of extraordinary cast and crew I have been privileged to work with, count the number of laughs I have shared with them, measure the pride I feel for the diverse, dramatic (and sometimes outrageous!) storytelling we have all been a part of.”

“We are the best version of ‘family’. It has been a wild ride into a happy life. Wouldn’t change it for quids!”

Alan Fletcher, who play Karl Kennedy, added: “Neighbours has been my happy place for over 30 years. I will always treasure the creative freedom and enthusiasm amongst the whole team that has allowed us to produce a brilliant show for so long.”

Candice Leask, who plays Wendy Rodwell, explained: “It took me 10 years and five auditions to land the role of Wendy Rodwell.

“The three years playing Wendy and being on Neighbours has changed my life, not only as an actor but also as a person. The people that I have gotten to know so closely from production to crew to cast have allowed me to see how amazing this industry can be.”

Executive Producer, Jason Herbison, said: “Neighbours is a special show and it’s been a privilege to make the recent seasons for our loyal viewers around the world. We have added 460 episodes to our legacy of over 9000 episodes, something we all feel proud of.

“Once again, we will be resting the residents of Ramsay Street on a hopeful note, with some tantalising possibilities for a future chapter.”

Neighbours is available to stream on Amazon Freevee
