LONDON — In a thrilling match on Monday, Fulham secured a dramatic comeback win against Brentford with a 2-1 victory, thanks to substitute Harry Wilson’s remarkable performance in injury time.
Wilson entered the game in the 82nd minute and quickly made his presence felt, equalizing in the second minute of stoppage time. He connected with a cross from Adama Traore, cleverly flicking the ball past the goalkeeper into the far corner while facing away from the goal. Just minutes later, in the sixth minute of added time, Wilson struck again, this time heading home from a delivery by Antonee Robinson, clinching the victory for Fulham.
Throughout the match, Fulham had been the dominant side, controlling the majority of play before finding themselves unexpectedly behind. Brentford took the lead in the 24th minute, capitalizing on a moment of careless play in the midfield by Fulham. German midfielder Vitaly Janelt seized the opportunity, launching a long-range shot from nearly 30 meters that soared into the net, evading goalkeeper Bernd Leno’s grasp.
Despite their early dominance, Fulham struggled to create clear chances until Wilson’s late intervention brought the game to life. His two goals not only turned the match but also injected new energy into the team, which had been searching for a breakthrough.
This victory elevated Fulham to ninth place in the Premier League standings, while Brentford remained in 13th. The win highlights Fulham’s resilience and attacking prowess, particularly in the closing moments of the match.
