Brentford and Fulham shared the points in a goalless draw at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday lunchtime. The low-quality match offered few clear chances, with both teams missing opportunities to boost their European hopes. Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno made a crucial late save to preserve the stalemate.
London rivals Brentford and Fulham played out a dismal 0-0 draw in the Premier League, extending Brentford's run of five consecutive draws. The hosts, sitting just outside the European places, failed to capitalize on their position, remaining behind Chelsea in sixth with 48 points while Fulham held 12th place. Only six points separate sixth-placed Chelsea from 14th-placed Newcastle United, with five matches left for both sides and rivals holding games in hand. English clubs are competing for up to 10 European slots next season. Brentford's in-form striker Igor Thiago, with 21 Premier League goals this season—second only to Erling Haaland's 22—was kept quiet throughout. Fulham's Harry Wilson had their best chance, shanking a volley wide, while an early opportunity saw Alex Iwobi and Tom Cairney set up Ryan Sessegnon, who fired over before Iwobi went off injured. Brentford captain Nathan Collins, in his 100th appearance, headed narrowly wide. Tension rose when Wilson escaped punishment for a reckless challenge on Mikkel Damsgaard. The decisive moment came in added time as Keane Lewis-Potter found Dango Ouattara in the box, but Leno, on his 145th straight Premier League start, pushed the powerful shot over the bar.
