The grind to Europe continues for Brentford. A goalless west London derby with Fulham made it five league draws in succession for Keith Andrews’ side as they missed their chance to get within touching distance of Liverpool.

The saviour for Fulham was Bernd Leno with a staggering stop in the final minute of regular time, his left hand up to tip over Dango Ouattara’s close-range effort. Calvin Bassey, the hulking centre-back, was quick to hug his keeper, recognising the game-saving moment.
