Bedlam. One moment of ingenuity to shatter Brentford’s resistance. Time was running out when Fulham, who had dominated from the first whistle, launched one more attack and two substitutes combined. Adama Traoré crossed and Harry Wilson, contorting his body at a ridiculous angle, produced an astonishing flicked volley to seemingly rescue a point for Marco Silva’s side.

In truth, it would have been a travesty if Brentford, ahead through a brutal strike from Vitaly Janelt midway through the second half, had won this west London derby. Thomas Frank’s side had barely played any football. They sat deep and took every opportunity to indulge in a spot of gamesmanship.
