And Anthony Robinson, U.S. international, of course.
Dick Cordova-Reed now, for Fulham.
Harrison Reed, promise here for Fulham.
Oh, and what a stunning start!
An absolutely glorious goal from Harry Wilson.
Well, Marco Silva will be delighted with what he's seen so far
in the first two and a half minutes, twice they've played through the press,
and the goalkeeper, Fleckhand, just has no chance, he's rooted to the spot.
Here's Wilson, he's in with another chance, and the flag has stayed down.
And Brentford breathe an almighty sigh of relief.
Now, Fleckhand does really well, because he comes out so quick
and then he gets really close to Harry Wilson.
Wilson knows he's there, just can't lift the ball over him.
Henry breaking again, he's got the better of Tete,
and forces a corner, and this is right up Brentford Street,
their strong suit, an area of the game in which they work harder than most.
Pinnock is often a target in these situations, but it's to the near post,
and Lewis Potter, and put in by Wilson,
I don't know if he got there before it crossed the line,
but Brentford are level, and the set-piece pays dividends for them once again.
It's all about the run from Lewis Potter, making sure he gets across the front man,
and he does exceptionally well to do it, the slightest of touches is all it takes,
and Visser at the back post, just taps it into the empty goal.
Henry Wilde forward again, Lewis Potter opting to find Mbermo,
he loves to cut inside, oh, and he's so unlucky!
We've seen a trademark moment from Harry Wilson,
we were so very close to one from Brian Mbermo.
Rico Munez, forcing a real battle to get away, couldn't succeed,
but his decode over Reid has Fulham find a way out.
Might yet find a way to goal here!
And they certainly have! Terrific work by...
They've soaked up the pressure, Fulham, that Brentford have put upon them.
Fleckhand, does he just get caught out? He doesn't expect the shot.
Damsgaard.
Getting whistled at behind, he had genuine Philadelphia freedom there.
I couldn't believe his look, how easily he got him behind.
Defenders switch off.
Oh, and an opportunity, which is taken!
What an entrance for Carlos Vinicius.
We know the capabilities of Vinicius, we know he's got real good technical ability,
but it's a mistake by Brentford, capitalised on by Harry Wilson,
good first touch but it's how quickly he gets that toe poke into the bottom corner.
Henry's cross on Jeka, hoping to get there.
Well, there's quite the answer.
It's tucked away quite superbly by Aja.
Lovely pick-out from Rico Henry, just digs it out of the back post.
Aja arriving on time, knows that he just has to make clean contact with it,
not thrashing through the ball.
Here's Lewis Potter.
And an opportunity for Rico Henry.
Well, it's not his stock in trade, but an opportunity passes Brentford by.
Yeah, but it's good pressing by Rico Henry, smart from Lewis Potter,
and then you just see, as he gets close to Diop,
it's almost like he doesn't want the challenge to come in.
Harris, Mbappé.
Stansfield was in there.
It's a little bit awkward, not the best of clearances by Masbekt Sorensen.
This is Robinson, now Willian, up against Pitt Harris.
Working the opening for the shot!
And a whisker away from Willian.
Well, he must have got a touch on it, David Raya.
It's an outstanding save, but we've seen it so often when players are cutting inside,
they're looking for that bending ball into the far corner.
Raya's at full stretch, fingertip save, and it is an outstanding save from David Raya.
Long throw, another good weapon.
Harris trying to keep it alive, and the head of Mbappé who actually presented it!
Terrific strike from Collins, but right behind it, Ben Leno.
Yeah, it's poor defending for him.
Mbappé just gets his header completely wrong under pressure,
nice set and good strike by Collins.
Harrison Reid, still Tiger-ish, but it draws to a close.
3-2 again between Fulham and Brentford,
right at the start of the half.
In the end, the winning goal.
Brentford couldn't pull it around in the end.
