Fulham’s Harry Wilson Strikes in 92nd and 97th Minute to Leave Brentford Reeling – Latest Reaction

Late Goals Sink Brentford

Fulham produced a remarkable comeback to defeat Brentford 3-2 in a thrilling west London derby at Craven Cottage. The hosts had trailed 2-0 at half-time but goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic, Harry Wilson, and then Wilson again in the 7th minute of stoppage time secured a dramatic victory.

Brentford took the lead through Yoane Wissa after just five minutes, and Bryan Mbeumo doubled their advantage just before the break. Mitrovic pulled one back for Fulham early in the second half, but the visitors looked set to hold on for a vital away win.

However, Wilson had other ideas. The Welshman, who has been in excellent form for Fulham this season, curled in a superb equalizer in the 92nd minute. And then, deep into stoppage time, he popped up with the winner, slotting home from close range after a scramble in the Brentford box.

The result leaves Brentford winless in their last five Premier League games, while Fulham move up to seventh place in the table. It was a cruel blow for the Bees, who had looked set to end their poor run of form. But Fulham will be delighted with their battling performance, which showed great character and resilience.
