Alex Iwobi capped a dynamic display with a goal and an assist as Fulham came from behind to beat Brentford and secure their second Premier League victory of the season.
The Bees took the lead when a careless pass from Josh King on the edge of the box was intercepted by Mikkel Damsgaard, who struck a composed low finish into the corner of the net.
Fulham equalised after Sasa Lukic’s shot ballooned up into a congested box and the ball dropped for Iwobi to sweep through the legs of Brentford skipper Nathan Collins and into the net.
The Cottagers then got themselves in front two minutes later and Iwobi was instrumental, bisecting the Brentford defence with a superb pass for Harry Wilson to fire home.
Fulham’s momentum continued into the second half and they increased their advantage when Ethan Pinnock misjudged a header from Ryan Sessegnon’s cross and diverted the ball into his own net off his shoulder blades.
Rodrigo Muniz thought he had notched a stunning fourth with a powerful angled half-volley that Caoimhin Kelleher could not stop.
However, referee Michael Oliver consulted the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) and chalked it off for a coming together between Muniz and Collins which left the Bees defender with blood pouring from his mouth.
Fulham’s win helped them climb up to seventh in the table while Brentford slip down a place to 17th.
