Fulham has continued their impressive form in the west London derby, defeating Brentford 3-1 at Craven Cottage. The win marks their third consecutive victory in the derby, with Harry Wilson playing a pivotal role in the team's success.
The match got off to a thrilling start, with Brentford taking the lead in the 20th minute courtesy of Mikkel Damsgaard's smart finish. However, Fulham soon found their footing, with Alex Iwobi equalizing just 98 seconds later after Nathan Collins' defensive blunder. Wilson then sealed the deal with a well-placed shot, giving Fulham a 2-1 lead.
The hosts' third goal came in the 50th minute, courtesy of an own goal from Ethan Pinnock. Despite Brentford's best efforts, they were unable to mount a comeback, and Fulham comfortably held on to double their win tally in seven days.
Fulham's manager, Marco Silva, opted to start with an unchanged lineup, and his decision paid off as the team found their rhythm and creativity. The victory was a timely reminder of the talent at Craven Cottage, and Wilson's brilliance was once again the highlight of the match.
In the post-match analysis, Sky Sports' Ron Walker praised Fulham's performance, stating that the team's ambitions would not be dimmed by a difficult transfer window. He also credited Josh King, who was unusually quiet in his last game but drove the hosts forward before being withdrawn.
Brentford, on the other hand, continue to struggle on the road, and their manager, Keith Andrews, admitted that they need to address their home and away form, which has been night and day for the second season in a row.
