Well back into the Fulham half and he's done well, finds Alex Owobi but he's turned it straight towards Mbwemo.
Looking into the box for Wisser, good save from Bert Leno.
Back it goes to the edge of the box and Sascha Lukic turned it into the path of Damsgaard I think it was, or Norgaard got a shot away.
And then there's a push in the back on Raul Jimenez.
We've got this monitor as I say, it's so difficult to see anything on it really, such a reflection of it.
We had the chance to clear that Jamie, very nearly caused ourselves problems again.
Bert Leno with a good save when it was initially played through.
Alex Owobi I think had given it away in the first place, came out well.
Bert Leno made the first save, it trickled back into the path of the Brentford player and then we were all over the place but managed to get over it in the end.
Good defending wasn't it from Joachim Andersen, he took up a good position inside the 18 yard box.
Quickly takes it, Robinson, just feeds it across the penalty area.
It's an awkward bounce to deal with, Emil Smith-Rowe gets the shot away, he did well.
Pushes it forward for Sascha Lukic, takes a touch and finds Kenny Tetty well inside the Brentford half.
Out it goes to Traore, right hand side.
Skipping and jinking his way forward, manages to get the cross in again, he's done well and Jimenez with a header.
Yes!
Fulham roof front is Raul Jimenez.
Raul Jimenez with the header, the Fulham fans, I don't know if they couldn't see from the far end, they're in the corner of the stand away to our right.
Great work from Adama Jamie, he's been in good form recently, deserved his start I think.
Even if it's at the expense of Harry Wilson, he got to the byline, got the cross in, Jimenez got up early.
And just as he did last week, he's given Fulham the lead early in the game, Raul Jimenez.
It's a good cross and a good header, Jamie and Fulham are in front.
Brilliant, wasn't it? Great work down that right hand side, that new contract has really paid off.
You can see as soon as he gets past the defender, there's no way of recovering.
I think it might have taken a deflection off of the defender as it came in.
The goalkeeper's got to do better there, Jim, I think that's what caught out some of the Fulham fans.
It caught me out as well, you're expecting him to save it.
I thought maybe he had stuffed it, yeah, he got his hands on it, I think, on the goal line.
And that matters none.
In the 16th minute, Fulham are in front and it's Raul Jimenez.
Here come Bredford, they'll want to respond to that.
And home fans obviously, well, the shard has gone down lightly again for me.
I was not interested, Jared Gillett, in the Bredford fans crowding round him, looking for another second yellow.
I mean, that didn't constitute a yellow, I'm not again even sure it's a foul.
He's very, very quick, Sharder, and if you catch him, he goes tumbling, but...
They look so disappointed, you know, leave it, it's nothing to do with them.
They get a player sent off.
Well, he's direct, he was the wrong side, wasn't he, Kenny, on that occasion by the look of it?
Again, as you say, we can't really see a replay, but it's not a second yellow, no way.
No, it's definitely not a yellow card. I didn't think the first one was the yellow card, to be fair, but...
He had a decision to make there, the referee, then, because having shown the first one, he could easily have shown the second one,
and that would have been curtains for Kenny, but he thought better of it.
But Brentford have the free kick.
It's about five or six yards outside the penalty area, far side.
As we look, left-hand channel, it'll be N'Buomo again.
Once again, Sharder's come to the near side of the penalty area.
He's looking to get in towards the back post.
As N'Buomo bangs it in.
Oh, it bounced right across the face of goal.
A couple of Fulham players went to try and contact it towards the far post,
as we look near post from the point of view of the free kick.
Everybody missed it, and then it bounced right in front of the Fulham goal.
As you say, we can't really see the monitor at all for the replays, but it bounced just past.
It was a Brentford player coming in who had he got his foot on it.
Lewis Potter turns it back into the Fulham half,
but it's taken down by Traore.
Turned into trouble, though, dispossessed by N'Buomo.
Here's Wisser, back to N'Buomo.
It's one apiece.
The league didn't last long, and Adama Traore,
who was the provider of the Fulham goal,
inadvertently has assisted Brentford with the equaliser, really.
He took it down on his chest, 25, 30 yards from the Fulham goal,
but ran into trouble, lost possession.
And then Wisser and N'Buomo combining.
You've got to say it's a decent finish from him.
Wisser and N'Buomo do know how to stick the ball in the net, Jamie, unfortunately.
Aside from giving away silly free kicks,
the other thing you don't want to be doing is gifting them possession,
and unfortunately that's what we did.
Well, they intercepted nice and quickly.
They're on at you all the time.
They've worked it out towards this right-hand side.
You know what N'Buomo's going to do.
It's about trying to stop him from doing that,
and unfortunately, as soon as he got it onto a shooting opportunity,
he's angled it across the keeper.
It is a good finish.
No-one's trying to make it easy for you, are they?
It'd just be nice to have a big win once in a while,
where you get in front, and then you get another one,
and you stay in front, and it's plain sailing.
But we're up against it again.
Sharder, when he was looking to go down there, he went down.
And the referee's given the penalty against Joachim Andersen.
Sharder stayed on his feet for a long time for me.
There may well have been a contact from Joachim Andersen.
Our replayers have said the monitor is as much use as a chocolate teapot.
Really, we can't...
I think there might have been the slightest of grabs,
but he carried on running, Jamie, didn't he?
He seemed to stay on his feet to me.
He's lightning, isn't he, Sharder, the way he gets away from you.
Andersen knew he needed to try and do something.
He might just have clipped him. It's very soft.
He's pulled him to the top of his arm,
and then he seemed to throw his arm back,
almost as if he wanted him to pull it again.
Gillett took his time as well, didn't he?
Yeah, I mean, we can kind of see that there.
He's accentuated the fall for me as well.
But he did take his time, the referee, he had a think about it.
He obviously felt there was enough contact as he yellow-carded Joachim.
There's trouble with Marco here.
Yeah, Marco Silva's lost his temper down below us.
He's having that.
He's having words with somebody,
and he really has lost his temper as well.
Steward's down there trying to control him.
He's lost it a little bit, Marco, but...
Leno's had a long chat with...
He's gone to VAR.
I think the decision must have come back
because he's marching towards the spot now, Jared Gillett.
There was a long chat going on whilst they were assessing it.
Maybe the decision hasn't come back,
but he certainly walked across to the penalty spot.
The referee.
Embuemo, yeah, decision foul.
Anderson, penalty.
Did he show me yellow, Jamie? I didn't see it.
I don't think so. I've not seen an award of a card, no.
Marco's going to have to be very careful,
though I'm not sure where he is at the moment.
He's disappeared from our view, but...
Yeah, he's come back a little bit.
He's sitting, looking at a replay, I think,
but he's absolutely fuming.
Embuemo with the opportunity to turn things around
and put Brentford in front.
Can Bernd Leno keep this out
from the penalty spot,
away to our right-hand side?
Up steps the Brentford man.
Yes!
Well done, Bob! Well done, son!
Come on!
Well done, Bernd Leno!
That's a great save.
He's going to get that clear.
Sander Berger picks up the loose ball in the Fulham half.
Plays it down the right-hand side,
looking for Adama, and he's found him.
Raul's in the box, and Wobbe's making his way in as well.
The cross coming in.
Raul's there.
Well, his header is on target.
This time the keeper did get behind it
and keep it out, but...
Another good cross in from Adama
down the right-hand side.
For me, we should employ that tactic, Jamie.
He's going to get a better Akeem Parker all day long.
And then just stand him up, Jim.
That's what he keeps doing.
Raul Jimenez is that good in the air.
He can look to try and bully these defenders.
They're very, very good players in their own regard,
but he's getting his joy, isn't he, Raul,
when those balls are coming in?
We've got to get this away, Fulham.
We've got everybody, every single Fulham player
back in the 18-yard box.
In it comes.
There's a glancing header.
Oh, it's headed in from the long throw.
There's a glancing header that was going away from goal.
It was going wide of the target.
Away from goal, but somebody following in
gets the second header on it,
and it ends up in the net.
It's Joanne Whisser, apparently, who got the touch.
All the heads went up to the long throw.
It's an awful tactic, I think.
It's taken football back 40 years, 30 years,
but there was a glancing header
from a Brentford player
that was going away from target,
away from the goal, but Whisser sneaking in
at the back post,
and he's judged the bounce.
He got the second header from close range,
and it's gone through,
unless it was Whisser on the line
who followed it in.
It's difficult to say.
It was certainly a header across.
Yeah, I think Whisser is on the line.
It was maybe Norgard who's headed it towards goal.
Pass burnt there.
Now we've got a slight touch on it,
and then Whisser's on the goal line
to just tap it in.
Kills it stone dead and pushes it back
for Calvin Bassie,
every outfield player in the Brentford half.
Fulham attacking the goal away to our right,
midway through the second half,
trailing by two goals to one.
Harry Wilson there, went for the one-two with Rao.
Didn't get it.
Josh King onto the loose ball next.
Yes!
It's Tom Cairney who's done it for Fulham.
The glancing header from TC.
He's off to the Fulham fans,
away on the far side.
Lovely work, Josh King and Harry Wilson,
really well involved since coming on.
Kenny Tettey as well down the right-hand side.
The three of them combining.
They finally work the ball into the box,
and it's a well-timed run into the danger area
from Tom Cairney,
and a really clever, well-placed header.
And he's celebrating with the fans.
It's a lovely goal.
Deflected cross,
I think we're trying to see this monitor,
but perfectly placed header,
seven or eight yards.
He's got in between a couple of defenders,
and he's guided that past the keeper, Jamie.
He's given Flecker no chance at all.
And that's Tom Cairney with a vital goal for Fulham,
and we're all square.
It really is vital.
Yep, you've called it correctly, Jim.
You could see what he was looking to try and do,
just guide it past the goalkeeper,
put it into the corner.
We got a little bit of luck,
because as the cross came in,
it took some of the power off of it.
So, so impressive, though,
to see Tom do what he did there.
And the subs are heavily involved.
Marco should take a great pat on the back for that,
because they've all played their part.
Yeah, only the one goal previously this season, Tom,
but a really crucial one there.
Come on now, Fulham.
Adama carrying it across field.
Harry Wilson's in space on this near side.
Fulham's right.
He finds him, working his way infield.
Left-footed shot from Harry.
Yeah!
He's done it again!
Come on!
Harry Wilson's done it again!
He loves scoring against Brentford.
Pick that out!
3-2 to Fulham.
What a lovely goal, Jamie.
When he set himself the shoot,
I thought you're never going to score from there, Harry.
He's curled it round the keeper,
into the far corner as we look.
The Fulham players celebrating with the fans opposite.
We've turned this right around.
Now, please, God, we can keep it this way.
Go on and win it.
Fulham are 3-2 in front,
and Harry Wilson has done it to Brentford again.
Well, you have to say that's a brilliant finish.
It really is, Jim.
Apologies, I've just lost my voice.
But brilliant, brilliant finish into the corner of the net.
As you say, it's a long, long way out.
You're thinking to yourself,
or the goalkeeper's probably thinking,
I can do enough here.
He must be.
He's over 30 yards out, isn't he?
It's a great finish.
Not a lot of back-lift.
And I thought to myself,
it's going to have to be something really special
to score from there, Harry.
He's hit the side netting, Jim.
It's precision.
Yeah, 71st minute.
It's his sixth goal of the season,
and he really has missed a good chunk of this campaign as well
through injury.
Get him off the bench.
And he'll stick it in the net.
And hot shot.
Harry has done it again.
Sadamu was almost away.
Bassey there at full stretch clears it,
but he's turned it into the path of Norgard.
And it goes for Mbwemo on the right-hand side.
Checks back onto his left foot, whips the cross in.
Wisser goes down.
There's no push there.
Look at the penalties.
Left, right and centre.
In the end, Sharder gets the shot away.
But Leno saves it.
It's going to be another corner.
Well, they all crowd the referee as well, don't they?
Yeah, they do, non-stop.
Wisser there just arched his back
and flung himself through the air.
There was no foul on him.
Thankfully, Gerard Gillett didn't fall for it.
Well, it's heart in your mouth stuff a little bit.
16 and a half minutes remaining.
Fulham have him in a goal in front.
Then 2-1 down, a 3-2 in front.
Jensen looks up, swings another deep cross in.
That's headed towards goal.
It's a great save from Bernd Leno.
Terrific save.
Down low at the far post as we look near post
from the point of view of the header.
It's a powerful header, Jamie.
That's a great save.
It's a brilliant save.
You've got to get down so quickly, haven't you,
to keep those out
because he's angled it low into the corner
or aiming to try and get it into the corner.
Sascha Lukic didn't get a touch on it in the end.
Neither did the Brentford player really,
or not a clean one.
And Ralf's there for Fulham.
Belts it down the middle.
Tom Cairney takes it in his stride.
Here's Damsgaard.
Fulham with plenty of players back in the box
as he swings the cross in,
but Leno got his fingertips to it.
It was important, but he's had to push it behind.
Another corner.
Four corners in this second half.
The Brentford Fulham have had none,
but we've had the better of it
in terms of...
We've scored two goals.
So turn things around.
Can we now deal with this corner?
We're in the 96th minute.
And the seven minutes have added time.
We're only 20 seconds short of 98 minutes.
And there is the final whistle.
Absolutely brilliant from Fulham in the second half.
That's the double over Brentford.
Six points off this fantastic West London-based team.
