Brentford have given Fulham an early sting then. We'll see what bearing it has on both teams' seasons. That's all for now. Goodbye!
Brentford climb to second in the nascent Premier League table. They're unbeaten in their last five Premier League games and look capable of causing any team in this league problems, with or without Toney. Fulham sit 10th. They were outplayed here, but they'll face less street-smart opponents this season.
Wilson reaches Lukic's througball to shoot at Flekken from a difficult angle on the right. The Brentford keeper has it covered.
Brentford stroll home from this West London derby with all three points! The Bees had Fulham's number all game, taking the lead just before half-time through Wissa. The hosts' brief revival came to an end when they went down to 10 men and Mbeumo made it 2-0. The Cameroon forward struck again late on to seal the win for Frank's men.
FULL-TIME: FULHAM 0-3 BRENTFORD
Henry, now playing on the right, strays offside. Brentford are steely, versatile, and they've got the win here!
There's a brief stop in play when Wilson picks up a knock to the head. Thankfully it's minor and he's soon back on his feet.
From the free-kick, Ajer's shot from the centre of the box is blocked. Lewis-Potter has a go himself, and manages to a simple save out of Leno.
Lewis-Potter is unceremoniously clipped by Diop, who's lucky to avoid a booking. The Fulham centre-back's had a miserable game.
Assist Kristoffer Vassbakk Ajer
