Young Josh King made a mistake that let Brentford forward Mikkel Damsgaard put the Bees ahead, but Fulham rallied before halftime, tying the score via Alex Iwobi before Harry Wilson's deft finish put his name on the scoreboard. When Ryan Sessegnon's cross was headed into his own net by Ethan Pinnock in the 50th minute, Brentford fell further behind. Rodrigo Muniz gave Fulham the impression that they had taken the lead shortly before the hour, but a VAR review ultimately rejected the striker's shot for a foul.
With eight points from their first five games, Fulham has moved up to seventh place in the Premier League standings, while Brentford is currently in 17th place after a difficult start to the season in which they have only managed four points from five games.
