Fulham Secures Third Straight Win with 3-1 Brentford Victory, Manager Praises Young King's Resilience

Fulham secured a 3-1 victory over Brentford at Craven Cottage, marking their third consecutive league win against the Bees, a rare achievement in the clubs' history. Despite an early mistake by 18-year-old Josh King, whose misplaced pass led to Brentford's opening goal by Mikkel Damsgaard, Fulham quickly rallied with goals from Alex Iwobi and Harry Wilson, and later benefited from an own goal by Ethan Pinnock. Manager Marco Silva praised King for his maturity, resilience, and the positive reaction both he and his teammates showed following the error, emphasizing King's talent and work ethic. Silva highlighted his team's dominant performance throughout the match, noting their aggression, control, and character from start to finish. Conversely, Brentford's head coach Keith Andrews expressed disappointment with his team's defensive lapses and the timing of the goals conceded, acknowledging the need for improvements amid a challenging start to their Premier League campaign. Fulham's effective teamwork and composed response to adversity were central to their well-deserved win, while Brentford continue to struggle defensively this season.
