Harry Wilson's double in added time gives Fulham the latest victory over Brentford | first division

Hullabaloo. A moment of genius to shatter Brentford's resistance. Time was running out as Fulham, who had dominated from the opening whistle, launched one more attack and two substitutes combined. Adama Traoré crossed and Harry Wilson, contorting his body at a ridiculous angle, produced a stunning volley to seemingly rescue a point for Marco Silva's team.

In truth, it would have been a travesty if Brentford, who took the lead thanks to a brutal Vitaly Janelt goal midway through the second half, had won this west London derby. Thomas Frank's team had barely played football. They sat deep and took every opportunity to indulge in a little cunning.

It was frustrating to see and Fulham it could have fallen apart. Instead, they kept pressing. Wilson's equalizer sparked a wild ending. Brentford almost won it but wasted a glorious chance to make it 2-1. Fulham went up the other end and Antonee Robinson crossed for Wilson, whose brilliant header beat Mark Flekken to give Silva's side their first win in four games and send Fulham into the top half.

This was frenetic from the start, tackles thundering and gaps evident at both ends. Fulham were the first to threaten, Reiss Nelson forcing a smart save from Flekken, and it was impossible to argue with the quality of their football during the first 20 minutes. Nelson, all quick feet and elegant dribbling on his first league start since joining from Arsenal, was in an adventurous mood down the left and there was much to appreciate in his combinations with Emile Smith Rowe, who was encouraged by the space he was finding . between the lines.

Brentford needed to be tighter, more compact and quicker to shut down Fulham's creators. Much of the play was down the left, overwhelming the overstretched Mads Roerslev, and more chances came. Robinson found Smith Rowe, whose shot was blocked, and Frank is unlikely to have enjoyed the moment when Nelson, rolling the ball under his feet, was allowed to slide straight through the centre, the danger diminished only when Nathan Collins He came up to block the winger.

That was a reminder that Frank could trust his players not to give up. Brentford had threatened sporadically, Robinson had to make an important tackle on Bryan Mbeumo, but they were ready to attack. Christian Nørgaard was placed in midfield, Flekken surprised the home fans by taking an age on each goal kick and was not at all surprised when the punch came in the 24th minute.

He came from Brentford making his physique count. They won possession in midfield with some forceful attacks and Nørgaard found Janelt. Fulham were left exposed and Janelt did not hesitate, the connection becoming a reality when the midfielder crossed the ball with his left foot and saw it pass Bernd Leno from 25 yards.

Brentford had something to hold on to. Fulham pressed for an equaliser, Robinson sent in a dangerous ball and Flekken saved a Smith Rowe header, but their frustration was growing. Janelt could have doubled the lead before the break, but her shot went wide.

The question was whether Brentford, who lost by one goal to Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham, could finally protect an away lead. Fulham were still pushing them back. Alex Iwobi shot wide early in the second half and Collins had to make two more big challenges on Raúl Jiménez.

Brentford defended well, Collins and Ethan Pinnock formed a powerful duo in the air and looked for space on the counterattack. Keane Lewis-Potter was encouraged to shoot after passing Kenny Tete, but his effort flew over.

Nothing much was happening, which was a problem for Fulham. Nelson left a deep cross for Robinson, who lost control. Someone had to take more responsibility. Jiménez was being marked out of the game. Silva finally headed to his bench and introduced the unpredictable Traoré.

With Brentford putting numbers behind the ball, it looked like there would be no way through. Wilson had other ideas. Craven Cottage couldn't believe it. The celebrations were long and loud.
