Harry Wilson came off the bench to score twice in injury time and earn Fulham a stunning comeback win over Brentford.
The Welsh forward netted in the second and seventh minute of stoppage time to complete a remarkable turnaround after Vitaly Yanelt’s stunner had put Brentford ahead in the 24th minute.
Substitute Wilson converted Adama Traore’s cross with an audacious backheel which looped over Mark Flekken to finally breach a stubborn Bees display in Monday’s West London derby.

And just when it looked like the Whites had earned a deserved point after 25 efforts on goal, the 27-year-old headed home Anthonee Robinson’s cross at the death to ensure they took all three.
Brentford had looked like claiming something of a smash and grab victory after Yanelt’s left-footed strike from 25 yards in the 24th minute, before keeping the dominant hosts at bay for much of the game.
Yanelt’s goal was Brentford’s first shot on target of the game before they had just one more throughout the game compared to Fulham’s 11, with Marco Silva’s men also dominating possession with 69%.
The win lifts Fulham into the top half in ninth, with Brentford 12th after continuing their unwanted record of losing all five of their away games this term.
“That is just incredible!” 🤯
