The Cottagers were 2-1 victors in a Premier League contest that will be remembered for its dramatic finish. In a week filled with surprising twists and turns in the English top flight, Fulham managed to steal all three points from their match against Brentford thanks to a last-gasp double by substitute Harry Wilson.
For much of the match, it seemed as though the Bees would take home the win, especially after they opened the scoring and defended their lead tenaciously. However, in what has become a characteristic for Fulham this season, their attacking prowess came alive when it mattered most - adding to their tally of crucial late goals.
Following the interval, Fulham’s pressure on the Bees’ defense finally paid off. In the 71st minute, the hosts equalized through an exquisite move that left the home fans reeling with excitement. The strike marked a turning point in the match and suddenly, the onus was on the away team to regroup and push forward.
But the evening was far from over. The final few minutes of the match witnessed a whirlwind of activity that has become all too familiar in the Premier League this season. Despite having a minimum of chances to snatch victory before then, it was Fulham’s substitutes who ultimately provided the required spark. Time seemed to stand still as Harry Wilson had a double chance at adding to Fulham’s tally, securing a brace in extra time that triggered pure bedlam among the home supporters and earned his side a highly valuable win.
