Crazy comeback in Premier League

Early morning of November 5 (Hanoi time), at Craven Cottage, Fulham hosted Brentford. The home team is in unstable form after going through three consecutive matches without a win, ranking 12th with 12 points. The two teams' form is opposite, when Brentford won 3/4 of the most recent matches in all competitions.

So when Janelt scored to open the scoring for Brentford in the 24th minute, Fulham fans thought of the worst-case scenario. Their worries were not unfounded.

Fulham failed to score for most of the match. Despite dominating possession (68%) and shots (26, 12 on target), the Craven Cottage side failed to find the back of the net against Brentford until the first minute of stoppage time in the second half.

Fulham's expected goals (xG) in this match was 1.37, a figure that showed the wastefulness of the home team. It was not until the 90+2 minute that the player who had just come on as a substitute, Harry Wilson, shone with the equalizer to make it 1-1. It was an extremely improvised turn by the Welshman, after a cross from his teammate.

The match had a total of 6 minutes of added time, but the referee allowed the two teams to play until the 90+7 minute, when Fulham had their final attack. From the left wing, defender Antonee Robinson crossed early for Wilson to head in to seal a crazy 2-1 victory for Fulham.

The dramatic three points earned in this match helped the Craven Cottage home team climb to 9th place in the rankings, ending a winless streak. Meanwhile, Brentford remained stuck in 12th place in the 2024/25 Premier League standings.
