Harry Wilson has once again helped Fulham to come from behind to beat Brentford in Craven Cottage with the 3-1 victory of the hosts for winning a second victory in a week.

Wilson's double injury had won the victory in the same match last season, but this time it was necessary this time, pulling at home the pass of the slideshow of Alex Iwobi to give the Cottager an advance of 2-1.

For the third consecutive season, Brentford had struck the first in Fulham, with an important hand of Josh King, 18, whose blind pass offered the ball to Mikkel Damsgaard – although he had to beat Bernd Leno with an intelligent finish.

Brentford's defense for Fulham's equalizer ran up this error while Nathan Collins was doing a cleaner cleaning of a deviated shot, before Iwobi intervened to hammer the loose ball, 98 seconds before Wilson's strike turned the game on his head.

Team news

Marco Silva resisted the desire to throw Kevin from the start despite his impressive cameo against Leeds last week, and rather appointed an unchanged program of this match.

Keith Andrews was also satisfied with the lot of his team from their last draw with Chelsea, and sent the same XI of this match after making 10 changes in the Carabao Cup against Aston Villa in the middle of the week.

No defensive coach would have felt particularly contained full-time, but there was even worse to come, while the team's conversation at half-time of Keith Andrews increased in smoke five minutes after restart when Ethan Pinnock passed in front of Caoimhin Kelleher for the third.

“When your luck is over, it came out,” said Sky Sports' Rob Green. “He doesn't have time to dodge, he doesn't have time to get rid of.”

Brentford continued to play their role but endured a tortured evening against their rivals, while the Cottager thought they were out of sight on time while Rodrigo Muniz protected a fourth, although he was refused by Var after leaving Collins with a bloody nose in construction.

Regardless, because Fulham comfortably wanted to double his victory count in seven days, with the search for Brentford for a first point on the current road.

Iwobi: We worked to counter the long danger of Brentford

Alex Iwobi from Fulham to Sky Sports:

“We knew that Brentford is very good during long throws, so we worked on many long training throws this week. We work mainly on the second balls and react to them, so we were able to resist this, which was the main threat today.

“You do not know where he will land, so we literally work all week on the second balls, but credit to our defenders, they were able to keep the first balls away and erase it from the penalty box.”

Analysis: Fulham struck their stride while the bees work again on the road

Ron Walker from Sky Sports to Craven Cottage:

“After such a performance by Dour against Leeds last weekend, it was curious that Marco Silva chose not to use the replacements – let's be honest, Kevin, who pushed them to the victory late in this match – to start against Brentford.

“This may be why he is the first league head coach because after a week to see his team on the training ground, he was absolutely right to keep the faith that they would find their energy and their creativity.

“He said that this week, their ambitions would not be attenuated through a difficult transfer window, with only Aston Villa spending less, but the resources make a difference.

“It was a right reminder of the talent that remains in Craven Cottage, and it is without their delicate new Brazilian, or his other new arrival Samuel Chukwueze which was an unused substitute.

“Special credit to Josh King, who was unusually silent during his last match and gave Brentford's opening in it, but continued to advance the hosts before being withdrawn.

“But for bees, for the second consecutive season, their home and outside shape is night and day.” Obviously, we have to approach this, “admitted Keith Andrews – although he insisted:” I didn't feel anything in the game, the players came with a very good state of mind. “”
