Must just be me but I quite enjoyed the tactical battle which Parker clearly won. They went long to start with which Brentford clearly weren't expecting and mixed the game up a bit meaning Brentford could rarely settle into their rythm. I think Emiliano's comments about Fulham fearing Brentford played into their hands though.

On another note I've seen David Raya in goal a few times for Brentford this season. Despite his apparent lack of height for a modern goalkeeper I've been generally impressed with his footwork, reflexes on both shots and crosses and also his quick distribution of the ball. Tonight was a serious abberation for the freekick from Joe Bryan though. Hilarious if I'm honest.

If Sam Johnstone had done that this place would have spontaneously combusted, and so would I .
