In the 92nd minute, he scored his first by flicking an acrobatic shot past goalkeeper Mark Flekken. Moments later, in the 97th minute, he stooped low to head home the winning goal, sealing the points for Fulham in thrilling fashion.
The hosts, who dominated possession, looked determined from the outset, with winger Reiss Nelson—making his first Premier League start—forcing two quick saves from Flekken, while Emile Smith Rowe also tested the Brentford keeper. Despite their intensity, Fulham were undone by Janelt’s strike as Brentford took the lead with their first real chance, thanks to Christian Norgaard’s pass that set up the powerful shot.
The second half followed a similar rhythm, with Fulham pressing hard for an equalizer. Alex Iwobi, Kenny Tete, and Andreas Pereira all took aim, but Brentford’s defense held firm until Wilson’s late heroics.
