FT: Fulham 3-1 Brentford
Fulham boss Marco Silva to BBC Sport: "Two in a row is very good for us. Very difficult to achieve. The feeling is top. Well deserved. That’s the main thing. We were the best team from the first minute to the last one. Great first half, great football from us. We dominated all the first half.
"We created many problems for them. The reaction was very good from the mistake. I like the way the players support Josh King straight away. It was a difficult moment for him. The reaction from King was top.
"Second goal, what an amazing finish. It was a good challenge on set-pieces. Many long throws, probably around 25. We handled it really well. We were brave and well organised. The players kept their focus. Proud of the players. To have a better wekened is what we want."
On King: "He knows the trust we have in him he’s working very hard. He’s a top talent. I like his maturity too. I love how he’s so humble and has the right mindset."

FT: Fulham 3-1 Brentford
Brentford boss Keith Andrews told BBC Sport: "We started the game well and played in areas of pitch. We wanted to cause them issues and we did that. The front two were a handful when we gave them the service.
"The timing of goals wasn’t good and the manner of them was a bit disappointing."
The first goal: "Two ways of looking at it - unlucky possibly but feel we could do more about it in terms of aggression and anticipation."
The second goal: "Again the manner of where it comes from, the basics of the game are important for me. How we set up for set-pieces including throw-ins, to match players. The manner of the goals didn’t sit particularly well.
"Clean sheets are important to us. We're very aware we need to address certain things and performance levels. We don’t get too high when we win a game and tonight we're clearly not happy with conceding three goals.
"We need to address certain aspects of our game. The performance overall was disjointed. We lacked the quality at times, the final little bit of quality was lacking."

Ricardo B: Thought Bees were in control at 1-0, but gifting the equaliser was beginning of the end, don’t like the way we seem to accept opposition having the ball unchallenged, fair play to Fulham COYB

Ooh that's me: Brentford used to play with ambition and desire didn't they? Tonight was both spineless and gutless from them - not looking good for them going out with a whimper against their local rivals.
While we wait for post-match reaction, a reminder of what's coming up on Sunday in the Premier League:
FT: Fulham 3-1 Brentford
Remember, Brentford took the lead in this game.
That seems like an awful long time ago.
The Bees have lost eight points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, more than any other team.
Is it too soon for alarm bells to be sounding at the Gtech?

Fulham completed a Premier League double over Brentford last season and are looking to win three league games in a row over the Bees for the second time, after winning their first three clashes from 1928 to 1929.
Brentford have lost two of their three Premier League visits to Craven Cottage (W1), more than their previous 15 league trips to Fulham beforehand (W6 D8 L1), while they could lose twice in a row at Fulham in the league for the first time since January 1954 (4 in a row).
Fulham have lost five of their last seven London derby games in the Premier League (W2), having been unbeaten in their previous 10 beforehand.
Brentford are winless in their last three away Premier League games (D1 L2), losing both of the last two, having won seven of their nine league games on the road beforehand (D1 L1).
Fulham are one of just two sides (along with Arsenal) yet to concede from open play in the Premier League this season, with their goals against coming from either corners (2) or penalties (2) so far. Meanwhile, two of the Cottagers’ three goals scored this term have come from set pieces.
Only Burnley (30) have had fewer shots than Brentford (33) in the Premier League this season, with the Bees’ average of 8.3 shots per game their lowest in any of their five campaigns in the competition.
Brentford have played fewer line breaking passes than any other side in the Premier League this season (132), with just five of these breaking the opposition’s defensive line (also a league-low).
No attacking player (strikers, attacking midfielders, wingers) has made more progressive carries in the Premier League this season than Fulham’s Alex Iwobi (37).
Brentford’s Igor Thiago has applied more pressures in the opposition half than any other player in the Premier League this season (225).
Brentford midfielder Jordan Henderson is set to appear in the 500th league game of his career across spells with Sunderland (71), Coventry (10), Liverpool (360), Al-Ettifaq (17), Ajax (37) and now the Bees (4 so far). This game comes 16 years and 323 days after his league debut for Sunderland v Chelsea in November 2008, which fell on the same day that now-manager Keith Andrews was making his eighth Premier League appearance for Blackburn against West Brom.
