A 0-0 draw between Brentford and Fulham in the west London derby saw Bernd Leno make a stunning last-minute save to deny Dango Ouattara a late winner. The match was largely forgettable, but Leno's save was a highlight, as he tipped Ouattara's shot over the bar in spectacular fashion. This came after a drab affair that nearly came to life in stoppage time, only for Leno to intervene and secure a point for his team. In a post-match interview with TNT Sports, Leno expressed his thoughts on the save, stating, "These moments in the last minute are always the best.

It was a difficult one. I wasn't even sure if the ball was in or not, but then I saw all my mates coming over to me. It was a good moment and it was important for us because I think we deserved a point today." The match saw Brentford miss several chances to take the lead, including a golden opportunity for Nathan Collins, who headed wide from a corner.

Fulham, on the other hand, failed to register a shot on target all game, with their best chance coming through Ryan Sessegnon, who blazed over an opening in the first half. The draw leaves Brentford level with sixth-placed Chelsea, but they could be overtaken by teams below them. Fulham, who lost Alex Iwobi to a hamstring injury, could fall as far as 14th by the end of the weekend. Fulham head coach Marco Silva expressed his disappointment with the draw, stating, "When you come here, as always, you come with a mission to win the game.

That's something that we have been able to do recently, three times in a row, not just here, but at the Cottage too. And we wanted to win the game.

It was our ambition to win the game. Of course, when you draw a game, you should not be pleased if the ambition was to win." Brentford head coach Keith Andrews, however, saw the draw as a positive, highlighting the evolution of his team over the past seven months. He stated, "This game is quite a poignant one because it showcases for me where we've come in the space of seven months.

At Craven Cottage on 25th September when Fulham were the better team and deserved to win the game. I think you can now see the evolution of our team. They've been together for numerous years under the same head coach and how we are a team?

We're on that can compete with everyone in this league." The draw marks five straight draws for Brentford, leaving their European bid uncertain. With five matches to go, they face an uphill task to reach the European places.

The team's lack of depth and options is a concern, particularly at the top end of the pitch, with Igor Thiago being the second-top goalscorer in the league.
