A ten minute period on the hour mark saw goals from Mathias Jorgensen, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa to give Brentford the 3 - 2 lead. However, a late goal from Watkins forced a 3 - 3 draw.

Fulham bounced back the next time out against West Ham. Andreas Pereira opened the scoring in the ninth minute and added another in the 72nd minute to give Fulham the 2 - 0 win.
