Ademola Lookman and Ivan Cavaleiro scored the two in the first half of the game before Harvey Barnes limited the deficit in the latter part of the second half.
Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers made five changes from the Foxes' Europa League draw in Braga for Monday night's clash with Fulham.
Jamie Vardy, James Maddison, Youri Tielemans, Nampalys Mendy and Wesley Fofana all returned whiles Ruben Loftus-Cheek made his third start for Fulham, as Andre-Frank Anguissa also started.
Leicester should have scored the first in the 19-minute minute after Justin was brought down by Reed near the yard leading to a freekick for the home side.
Maddison's free-kick was blocked by the wall, but Tielemans volleyed the ball back towards goal. Areola was rooted to the spot but the ball hit the upright and rebounded to Fofana. His second hit took a stroke on the crossbar for Fulham’s survival.

They kept pressing for the opener as Praet whipped low cross was controlled for Vardy but his clever shot on goal flicked the ball with his heel towards the near post. Areola made no mistake though, saving low down to deny the striker.
Lookman opened the scores in the 30-minute after Anguissa drove forward before drawing Fofana and rolled the ball into the path of Lookman. The forward took a touch before opening his body and rolled the ball past Schmeichel and into the bottom corner to banish memories of his missed penalty against West Ham.
Cavaleiro in eight minutes’ time banished memories of his recent penalty miss by smashing the ball past Schmeichel and into the top corner to double Fulham's advantage.
Leicester’s gameplay in the second half was, but their chances were shielded by the Fulham defence from converting haven sat deep in their formation.
Barnes smashed a venomous finish from Vardy's downward header to give the hosts a real chance of salvaging something from this game. Their confidence seemed restored but after five minutes of injury time, the scoreline remained 2- in favour of the visitors.
