Fulham beat Brentford in a 2-1 victory at the Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Monday. Harry Wilson fired the Cottagers back into the game in stoppage-time after Vitaly Janelt’s 24th-minute strike, a long-range stunner that left Bernd Leno with no chance, had put them almost over the line. Another five minutes later, Wilson came back to haunt the Bees with a second goal to turn the match around for a spectacular win. Here are the player ratings:
