Mbeumo and Wissa in Williams' underrated XI of the season
As the dust settles on this Premier League campaign, we asked former England international Fara Williams for her underrated XI for the selected Byran Mbeumo and Yoanne Wissa from Brentford in her team.I can't have one of these without the other really. For a club who finished 10th to have one player score 19 league goals and another score 20 is Ivan Toney departed last summer everyone wondered how Brentford would make up for his goals and I worried they may struggle to stay in the league without their main Thomas Frank has adjusted his system to maximise the effectiveness of Mbeumo and Wissa whose quality and pace has caused so many Premier League teams' defences problems this context, Toney managed 20 league goals in his best season - and these two got 39 between them! It is an unbelievable goal Brentford to be fighting for and talking about Europe deep into the season shows how established they have become as a Premier League club and Bees fans must be raving about this duo every will be the inevitable conversations over whether the club can keep hold of them over the transfer window but regardless of what happens it has been a very special finished the season as the league's sixth-highest scorers. Including the 11 scored by Kevin Schade, their front three scored 50 combined. Fara Williams was speaking to BBC Sport's Nat Hayward

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Brentford today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25. The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term. Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below: Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford Assist Jørgen Strand Larsen 25 May 2025 17:33 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford Semedo is booked after he deliberately stops Wissa from breaking forward on the counter-attack. 25 May 2025 17:31 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford Mbeumo now has 20 Premier League goals and Wissa has 19 goals this season for Brentford. Should Wissa also score today, they'd be the first duo to score 20+ Premier League goals for a team in a season since Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in 2018-19 for Liverpool (each scored 22). 25 May 2025 17:30 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford Brighton have turned the game around in their fixture, they now lead 2-1 against Tottenham after a second half comeback. This means that as it stands, Brentford won't have the chance of playing the Conference League next season. 25 May 2025 17:26 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford Substitution Gonçalo Manuel Ganchinho Guedes Jørgen Strand Larsen 25 May 2025 17:23 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford Substitution Rayan Aït-Nouri Rodrigo Martins Gomes 25 May 2025 17:23 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford Decent chance! Norgaard has a go from the edge of the box after he's not picked up and he drills a low strike towards the bottom left corner, but Sa is able to make the save. 25 May 2025 17:22 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford Brentford are keeping their shape well and it's frustrating the home side, they are struggling to get in behind and create clear-cut chances in the penalty area. 25 May 2025 17:21 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford It will be interesting to see how long Wolves leave it before making any changes, as despite several chances in front of goal, Flekken needs to be tested much more if they are to find a goal. The Brentford defence are coping well with the pressure at the moment. 25 May 2025 17:19 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford 25 May 2025 17:17

Harry Wilson scores Fulham winner against Brentford for second time this season
Wilson scored a stoppage-time brace in November's reverse fixture to snatch victory for the Cottagers and his 70th-minute effort, moments after Tom Cairney equalised, proved decisive. Raul Jimenez had opened the scoring for the visitors before Bryan Mbeumo – who had a first-half penalty saved – and Yoane Wissa both netted their 19th goals of the campaign. Cairney, who is yet to be offered a new deal at Craven Cottage with his contract expiring in the summer, forced parity before fellow substitute Wilson repeated his heroics. Both sides have been vying for an eighth-place finish and a Conference League spot in recent weeks but those ambitions were extinguished after Crystal Palace's FA Cup victory on Saturday, meaning the Eagles will be the side embarking on a European tour next season instead. Wissa squandered a golden chance from a one-on-one at one end moments before Fulham converted in the 16th minute. Adama Traore, whose contract at Craven Cottage was extended by a year this week, whipped in a looping delivery and Jimenez produced enough power on his header to prevent Mark Flekken from keeping the ball out. The crowd was playing their part in a feisty affair with both sides opting to go end to end. But it was Brentford who pounced not long after Jimenez's goal to level the scores in the 22nd minute. Traore went from hero to villain when he had his pocket picked in midfield and Wissa linked with strike partner Mbeumo on the right-hand side of the box before the latter drilled his effort with his weaker right foot into the bottom-left corner. Minutes later Joachim Andersen brought Kevin Schade down in the area but Mbeumo saw his penalty saved by Bernd Leno. Brentford's persistence was eventually rewarded, however, with their physical advantage paying dividends off a set-piece. Fulham failed to deal with a long throw and Bees skipper Christian Norgaard was on hand at the back post to nod his effort through the palms of Leno before Wissa prodded the ball over the line. Fulham forced a 68th-minute leveller through substitute Cairney, who nodded home from close range. Two minutes after Fulham's equaliser, shouts of 'shoot' from the away fans rung around the Gtech Community Stadium, with Wilson obliging with a curved effort from distance which left Flekken rooted to the spot.

Harry Wilson scores Fulham winner against Brentford for second time this season
Harry Wilson haunted Brentford once again as Fulham scored twice in two minutes to come from behind and claim west London bragging rights in a 3-2 win at the Gtech Community Stadium.
