Fulham comeback defeats Brentford keeps European hopes alive

Fulham secured a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Brentford, reigniting their hopes of European qualification by halting Brentford's four-game winning streak. Raul Jimenez initially gave Fulham the lead, but Brentford responded with goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa to lead 2-1 at halftime. Fulham's captain Tom Cairney, potentially playing his final games for the club, equalized early in the second half with a header, and substitute Harry Wilson scored a stunning long-range strike shortly after to complete the turnaround. Brentford missed a crucial penalty through Mbeumo, saved by Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno, who was instrumental in preserving the comeback. The win lifted Fulham to 10th place, just one point behind Brentford in eighth, keeping their European ambitions alive despite the challenges. Brentford's chances of European qualification suffered a significant blow, while Fulham set a new club record for Premier League points this season.
