Fulham grab last ticket for English Premiership after win over Brentford

 

Fulham have made a return to the Premier League after beating Brentford 2-1 in the Championship playoffs final.

The Cottagers have to wait until extra time to score twice from the foot of Joe Bryan to grab the only available slot.

The left-back scored his first 15minutes into extra time. He made it two 3minutes from full time with a 40 yards screamer.

Brentford pulled a goal back late in the game but wouldn’t help them avoid missing out on a chance to qualify for the Premiership.

Fulham joins Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion as the three qualified teams for the 2020/21 English Premier League season.

Prior to the finals against Brentford, Scott Parker’s side had defeated Cardiff in a tensed game to set a date with their counterparts who had also beaten Swansea City 3-2 on aggregate in the other playoff semi-final game.

The London-based Club make a return to top-flight football just a year after suffering demotion to the second-tier.
