Wilson’s Late Heroics Stun Brentford as Fulham Stage Dramatic Comeback
Summary:
Brentford’s Vitaly Janelt opened with a stunning 25-yard strike.
Substitute Harry Wilson scored twice in the final minutes, securing Fulham’s comeback victory.
Fulham dominated possession, creating several chances before Wilson’s late goals sealed the win.
Brentford’s Vitaly Janelt put the visitors ahead with an impressive long-range shot in the first half, giving Brentford a lead that seemed enough to secure the win. But Fulham’s substitute Harry Wilson had other plans, delivering two goals in a thrilling comeback.
Wilson’s first goal came in the 88th minute when he acrobatically flicked a cross from Adama Traore past goalkeeper Mark Flekken, equalizing the match. In added time, Wilson sealed the dramatic victory, diving low to head in a cross from Antonee Robinson, setting Craven Cottage alight with excitement.
Fulham’s Reiss Nelson, making his Premier League debut start, was lively throughout, testing Flekken with two quick shots early in the game, followed by Emile Smith Rowe’s close attempt. Brentford, known for their fast starts, struggled to retain possession as Fulham kept the pressure high.
Despite Janelt’s initial strike and a valiant defensive effort, Brentford’s season-long trend of conceding late goals continued. With this loss, they once again let a lead slip, leaving Craven Cottage without any points in a match that had seemed within their grasp.
