Alex Iwobi shone as Fulham came from behind to defeat West London rivals Brentford 3-1 at Craven Cottage. Iwobi's impressive performance included scoring a goal and providing an assist, helping the hosts secure consecutive Premier League victories for the first time since February.

Fulham began the match brightly, showcasing their possession-based style with patient build-ups. Early chances fell to Harry Wilson and Saša Lukić, but Brentford caught them off guard and scored the opening goal against the run of play.

Mikkel Damsgaard scored a clinical goal for Brentford, intercepting a Fulham pass and finishing with his right foot past Bernd Leno. This showcased Damsgaard's ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities and his precision in front of goal.

Fulham narrowly avoided doubling their deficit when Kevin Schade seized on a sloppy backpass. However, Schade was forced wide and couldn't find the target, allowing Fulham to stay in the game. This moment highlighted the pressure Brentford applied and the potential vulnerabilities in Fulham's defense.

Fulham's perseverance paid off as they dramatically turned the match around with two goals in quick succession. Alex Iwobi equalized with a stunning first-time finish after a chaotic sequence of play in the box. He then delivered a delightful assist for Harry Wilson, who scored with a beautiful left-footed finish.

Iwobi's goal and assist were pivotal in shifting the game's momentum in Fulham's favor. Wilson's finish showcased his skill and composure in front of goal. The swift turnaround in fortunes marked a crucial moment in the match, energizing Fulham's fans and players alike.

Brentford's chances of a late comeback dwindled as time ran out, despite a close opportunity for Dango Ouattara, whose left-footed shot was deflected over the bar. Fulham, however, comfortably secured the win, moving up to seventh in the table on a satisfying night at Craven Cottage.

By now, Keith Andrews’ side were running out of time to set up a grandstand finish, and club-record signing Dango Ouattara was not far away from halving the deficit when his left-footed shot was deflected over the bar.

But the hosts saw out the game with relative ease on a largely comfortable night by the Thames, duly moving them up to seventh in the table.

The win brought Fulham some much-needed joy in London derbies, marking only their third victory in their last eight matches against teams from the capital. For Brentford, the loss meant back-to-back league defeats at Craven Cottage for the first time since January 1954. The Bees currently sit 17th in the table, having lost three of their first five Premier League games.

Match Highlights:

• Iwobi's Impact: The striker's goal and assist were crucial in turning the game around for Fulham.

• Fulham's Resilience: Despite going behind, the hosts showed great character to come back and win.

• Consecutive Wins: This victory marked Fulham's first back-to-back wins in the Premier League since February.

The win was a significant boost for Marco Silva's side, demonstrating their ability to overcome adversity and secure important points in the West London derby.
