Fulham vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Craven Cottage
Follow live coverage as Fulham face Brentford today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Fulham vs Brentford
What a finish at Craven Cottage. Harry Wilson scored twice in stoppage time as Fulham snatched a dramatic 2-1 victory from under Brentford's nose. Though they were on the back foot for most of the contest, Brentford took the lead against the run of play in the 24th minute, thanks to Vitaly Janelt's superb 25-yard strike. Fulham, who had an xG of 1.37 compared to their opponents' 0.59, dominated proceedings, but it was not until the 92nd minute that their persistance finally paid off, with Wilson cleverly flicking home Adama Traore's cross. And there was to be another dramatic twist in the dying seconds, as the Wales international headed in Antonee Robinson's centre to send Craven Cottage into ecstasy. Both sides are back in action on Saturday. Fulham have another London derby to look forward to as they travel to Crystal Palace, while Brentford host Bournemouth. Thanks for joining us today. Until next time, goodbye!

GREAT SAVE! Brentford push for a dramatic winner. Carvalho arrives late in the box to meet Roerslev's square ball, but is denied by Leno's superb reflex save. The Fulham defence then throw their bodies in the way of the follow-up efforts.
