Harry Wilson stepped off the Fulham bench to net the winner against Brentford for the second time this season as their 3-2 victory kept their narrow European hopes alive.
The winger’s stunning 20-yard curler left Mark Flekken motionless to move Fulham a point behind their west London rivals in eighth spot – which may be enough for a Europa Conference League place – two minutes after Tom Cairney had pulled them level.
The performance of referee Jarred Gillett had long-threatened to overshadow the game before Fulham’s quick-fire double, 24 hours after he was at the centre of controversy for his part in failing to send off Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson in the FA Cup final.
This time he inexplicably let both Kenny Tete and Yoane Wissa off what appeared clear second bookable offences – with the latter almost immediately going on to prod home from a yard for what was at the time a 2-1 lead.
That completed the turnaround from Raul Jimenez’s early headed opener after Bryan Mbeumo had already brought them level.
Brentford should have already been ahead by then anyway, once Kevin Schade was fouled in the Fulham box by Joachim Andersen, only for Bernd Leno to keep out Mbeumo’s weak penalty.
In the end, it proved immaterial as Fulham’s second-half turnaround, inspired by the introduction of Cairney and Wilson from the bench, secured their all-time record Premier League points tally with a game to spare.

Flek odpovídá Nedomanskému, co se mu honí hlavou při nájezdu. Pastrňákovi si nedovolí radit
Herning (Od našeho zpravodaje) - Místo tréninku na ledě si raději s reprezentačními parťáky střihl nohejbal. Pak přišel do mixzóny, s kafem se opřel o „klandr“ a pustil se skupinkou novinářů do dlouhého povídání, v němž poodkryl, v čem tkví jeho gólová úspěšnost z úniků.Jakube, jak se těšíte na závěrečný týden mistrovství?Jsem rád, že si konečně zkusíme ostré zápasy. Duely s Maďarskem, Kazachstánem jsou nepříjemné na hlavu. Nic nechcete podcenit, protože v hokeji se může stát cokoliv. Dostanete blbý gól, nedejbože dva. V koncovce se můžete trápit a fiasko je na světě. Je těžší se na ty zápasy připravit mentálně než fyzicky. Já to mám tak, že moc nekoukám na to, kdo proti mně stojí a snažím se tam pokaždé nechat všechno. Ale občas to hlavu svádí trochu se přizpůsobit hře soupeře. O to víc jsem rád, že jsme to zvládli a teď už máme hlavy nastavené na to nejdůležitější.Ač jste z extraligy, tak […]

MINNEAPOLIS — For the second time in two months, the tush push is in danger.The Philadelphia Eagles' signature quarterback sneak play survived debate over its future during early April league meetings in Palm Beach, Florida.

Nuggets’ Aaron Gordon lobbies for interim coach David Adelman to get full-time job: ‘I hope he’s our coach’
Getty Images Given how well the Denver Nuggets played since David Adelman took over the head-coaching position on an interim basis, it would pretty surprising if he doesn't get the full-time gig. Denver fired coach Michael Malone with just three games left in the regular season, after which the team won all three to finish with a 50-32 record and home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. The Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Clippers in seven games, then took the No. 1 seed Oklahoma City Thunder to seven games.After the team's season ended with a 125-93 Game 7 loss in Oklahoma City on Sunday, Denver forward Aaron Gordon publicly backed Adelman to take on the job on a full-time basis. "I love DA," Gordon told reporters. "I hope he's here next year. I hope he's our coach."Gordon said that Adelman was "excellent […]
