Brentford fuelled their ambition of playing European football with a 3-2 home victory over fellow hopefuls Fulham to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 12 games on Monday.

Ivan Toney’s second-half penalty and a late effort by Mathias Jensen sealed the points for ninth-placed Brentford against their west London rivals to edge them closer to the European qualification places.

Toney, who is facing FA charges and a possible ban after alleged breaches of gambling rules, coolly slotted his kick past Fulham keeper Bernd Leno in the 53rd minute after a clumsy foul by Issa Diop on Christian Norgaard.

Jensen then tapped in from a tight angle after a superb run and cut back by Kevin Schade in the 85th minute to kill of a below-par Fulham whose four-game unbeaten run came to an end.

Brentford had taken an early lead with a deflected shot by Ethan Pinnock but Fulham hit back shortly before halftime when Manor Solomon scored for the fourth successive league match.

Fulham’s Carlos Vinicius did grab a stoppage-time consolation with almost the last kick but Thomas Frank’s Brentford side are now unbeaten in the Premier League since October and have 38 points from 24 games, one point behind seventh-placed Fulham and four behind fifth-placed Liverpool.

Fulham decide to switch things up by pushing forward down their right this time. Cedric curls an early cross into the middle, but none of his team-mates have made a run to get on the end of it.

SAVE! Robinson sends another cross into the box, but Jensen gets this one away. Reed brings it down a long way out from goal but decides to try his luck on the volley. Raya gets across to comfortably keep it out.

Ream is dispossessed inside his own box by Dasilva, but he can't get around Robinson to pull it back for Toney. Fulham look shaky at the back, and they just can't get upfield.

BLOCK! It's a good corner from Pereira, and Wilson is at the near post to flick this one on. Raya is beaten this time, but Mee is behind him to block it in front of the line.
