With goals from Raul Jimenez, Tom Cairney and Harry Wilson, Fulham defeated Brentford 3-2 in the 37th round of the 2024/25 Premier League and successfully broke the team's points record in the Premier League. Marco Silva said that this was a proud achievement for the team.

In the 16th minute of the game, Adama Traore passed the ball into the penalty area, and Raul Jimenez jumped up and headed the ball into the goal, helping Fulham to open the scoring with a score of 1-0. In the 22nd minute, Mbomo received a pass from Visa and broke into the penalty area and shot, helping Brentford to tie the score at 1-1.

In the 68th minute of the second half, Kenny Tait's cross was deflected, but Tom Cairney seized the opportunity and jumped up to head the ball into the goal, helping Fulham to tie the score at 2-2. In the 70th minute, Harry Wilson received a pass from Adama Traore and shot from outside the penalty area, helping Fulham to lead the opponent again with 3-2.

In the end, Fulham defeated Brentford 3-2 in this West London derby. After taking all three points, Fulham ranked 10th in the standings with 54 points. It is worth mentioning that Fulham successfully broke the team's record for the highest points in a single Premier League season.

Fulham manager Marco Silva said, "This is something the team should be proud of. We never hide our goals, and this is one of our goals this season, and we have always hoped to achieve it. From the first day of promotion to the Premier League two years ago, we have been very close to this goal. This has always been one of the important goals we have repeatedly emphasized."

Praising the impact of substitute players

“We had other objectives of course but this was one of the main ones because we knew that once we broke the club record in the Premier League we could go on to achieve something even higher. It was an up-and-down game and the players wanted to bounce back strongly from the defeat they had last week. The defeat to Everton was frustrating because it was a game we should have won.”

Marco Silva pointed out, "The previous game was a great opportunity for us to break the points record at home, but we missed it. However, we know that this derby is another good opportunity and it means a lot, not only points and rankings, but it may even involve European qualifications, and the opponent is also a very good and difficult team. We must be very tough to control the situation, because this is a derby, the game will be fierce, and there will be a lot of physical confrontations."

"The first half was balanced and our goal was important. But we should be more dissatisfied with the second goal than the first one. Conceding goals from the opponent's throw-in for two consecutive games should not happen at our current level."

In addition, Marco Silva also said, "We had players on the bench who could make an impact, and in the end we scored two great goals and won the game with our performance in the second half."

"We deserved this victory. The team restricted the opponent well and controlled the game in the second half. It is normal for the opponent to fight back after we led 3-2. After all, they were playing at home and had to win just like us. But in the end, we won the game."
