Brentford 2-3 Fulham: Bees' European hopes hanging by thread
In-form Brentford had looked set to register five consecutive top-flight victories for the first time since 1939 after Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa had struck their 19th Premier League goals of the campaign to give the Bees a 2-1 half-time lead against neighbours Thomas Frank's side faded as an attacking force after the restart, failing to register another attempt at goal until the 74th minute, by which time the Cottagers had struck twice in two minutes to go 3-2 closest Brentford came to restoring parity was when Christian Norgaard's 86th-minute header was tipped over the crossbar by Bernd Leno, who had crucially denied Mbeumo from the spot in the first in-form Cameroon forward had scored his previous 11 penalties for the Bees, but Leno dived the right way to keep out the forward's tame Manchester City, Newcastle, Arsenal and Liverpool have scored more goals than Brentford this season, but their defensive record on home soil leaves a lot to be Southampton and Ipswich are the only sides to concede more than their 35 in front of their own supporters this season – the most Brentford have shipped at home in the top flight since men must now beat Wolves away on the final day of the season and hope other results go their way to stand any chance of sneaking into Europe.

Fulham fight back to beat Brentford as European hopes fade for both
Two goals in quick succession by Fulham substitutes Harry Wilson and Tom Cairney earned their side all three points in a five goal thriller against Brentford. Bernd Leno denied Bryan Mbeumo his second goal of the match from the penalty spot to keep his side in the contest. Then a routine header from Cairney, for what could be his last goal for the club, and a long range strike from Wilson overturned the home side's first-half lead.

Everton dent Fulham's European hopes with 3-1 away win
LONDON :Fulham's hopes of European football next season are fading fast after they slipped to a fourth Premier League defeat in five games with a 3-1 loss to Everton at Craven Cottage on Saturday as the visitors came from behind to win. Fulham stay in 11th in the table with 51 points from their 36 games, four points behind eighth-placed Brentford, while Everton climb one spot to 13th with 42. Raul Jimenez gave Fulham a deserved lead in the first half with a powerful header before Vitaliy Mykolenko's deflected shot from the edge of the box levelled the score on the stroke of halftime. Two goals in three minutes from Michael Keane and Beto, who profited from an error by goalkeeper Bernd Leno, turned the game in Everton's favour and dealt their host's European dreams a heavy blow.

Semenyo leads Bournemouth to victory over fulham in Premier League
Bournemouth defeated fulham 1-0 Bournemouth defeated Fulham 1-0, with Semenyo scoring the only goal of the match less than a minute after kickoff. A much-needed victory This victory marks Bournemouth's first win after a six-match winless streak, bringing their points total to 48 and elevating them to eighth place, ahead of Fulham on goal difference. Semenyo's quick strike Semenyo needed just 55 seconds to open the scoring for Bournemouth, skillfully maneuvering past two Fulham players before firing a low shot with his left foot from the edge of the box that found the bottom corner of the net, beating German goalkeeper Bernd Leno. First half dominance Bournemouth was the stronger side in the first half but failed to build on their strong start. Fulham's second half push In contrast, Fulham showed a different face in the second half, pushing hard in the final quarter. Their Portuguese coach Marco Silva introduced Mexican striker Raul Jimenez, Brazilian winger Willian, and midfielder Emile Smith Rowe to change the outcome, but to no avail.
