Fulham Hold Brentford to Goalless Draw as Leno's Late Save Denies Bees

A 0-0 draw between Brentford and Fulham has left the Bees narrowly missing a spot in the top six, thanks to a stunning last-minute save by Bernd Leno. The west London derby was largely uneventful, with few clear chances for either side, until Dango Ouattara thought he had scored a late winner for Brentford, only to be denied by Leno's spectacular tip over the bar. Brentford's Nathan Collins then headed another golden opportunity wide from the resulting corner, compounding the frustration for the home team. Leno reflected on the game, saying, 'These moments in the last minute are always the best... It was a good moment and it was important for us because I think we deserved a point today.' The draw means Brentford have now gone five games without a win, moving them level with sixth-placed Chelsea but also giving teams below them the chance to overtake. Fulham, who lost Alex Iwobi to a first-half hamstring injury, could potentially fall to 14th by the end of the weekend. Both teams had limited chances throughout the game, with Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon and Harry Wilson coming closest for the visitors, while Brentford's Igor Thiago and Keane Lewis-Potter missed opportunities for the hosts. The result leaves both teams with significant challenges in their pursuit of European football next season.
