The defender adjusted, hit cross, and had a killer deflection to swing the nets. The visitors’ response came just before the break, on the 40th minute. Andreas Pereira took a free-kick from very close range, but the ball exploded on the pitchfork and went out. On the rebound, Manor Solomon headed into the empty net.
In the second half, the home team took the lead again. Christian Norgaard was hit inside the area after 5 minutes and a penalty was awarded. At 52, Ivan Toney hit the right corner and converted the kick, 2 to 1. Brentford’s third and last goal came at 40, with Mathias Jensen. The midfielder received it inside the small area and played under the goalkeeper.
There was still time for Fulham to reduce their disadvantage. At 53 minutes, Andreas Pereira took a long shot and stopped in defense of David Raya. Carlos Vinícius was attentive to the rebound and arrived before the defenders to score the consolation goal for the visitors.
