Top half. Both teams pushing top half.

I think you look at the way the other teams have spent, other teams making changes, Manchester United bringing in a new manager, you expect some kind of boost to their season.

There's Tottenham, Chelsea, so I think if you’re looking to break into the top six it’s a bit too much of an ask for these sides, budget wise.

But I think for both of these teams, top 10, maybe an outside European chance potentially would be great.

For me and my time at Fulham, we were in Europe every season, which was amazing. We got to a European final. So I think Fulham would love to get back to those dizzy heights, but it’s a little bit of a way off, with other teams, the way they’re spending and the way they’re going at it.

Brentford would have been ninth in the Premier League table, but for Harry Wilson's late two-goal burst.

As it is, Fulham now occupy ninth place on 15 points, with Brentford down in 12th on 13 points.

It was Fulham's first win since September and came after they were denied all three points at Everton in their previous match after conceding a 94th-minute equaliser from Beto.

Fulham manager Marco Silva said that he felt his side deserved to win but did not lose their confidence as they battled to earn a way back into the match, with the clock ticking down.

His decision to throw two-goal hero Harvey Wilson paid off and the Cottagers boss said that he hopes to now see much more from the Welsh international.

"We set Harvey in a different position to normal, he normally comes from the left-hand side," said Silva.

"He smells the goal and has the capacity to arrive in different areas. He deserved it. It's been a tough season for him in terms of minutes, probably not playing as much as what he wanted.

"With his goals, he's been on fire with the national team but tonight he was able to help us.

"He really deserved the moment and I hope there will be much more to come from him."

The first goal was sensational, wasn't it? You’re watching and going, ‘did he mean that?’.

It’s one of those where you’ll always claim but it was a wonderful touch to get across your man and flick it into the corner.

A wonderful goal and to score so late on, genuinely, there’s nothing better than winning that late. And obviously the best feeling ever and even more so when you don’t deserve it, but I think Fulham actually did deserve it.

Right, let's hear from the hero of the hour - Fulham's Harry Wilson.

"When the gaffer put me on he said you are going to play in that pocket and when the ball goes wide try to get into the box," said the Wales midfielder.

"When the ball went wide to Adama [Traore] for the first one I just tried to get across the front man and get a flick on it and if it didn't go in off me, hopefully it would find someone else.

"On the second one, when the ball goes wide to Jed [Antonee Robinson] the space opened up for me and I was just hoping he saw me.

"It was kind of at an awkward height - whether to use my chest then hit it or go with my head. I decided to go with my head but in the end it came off my shoulder but ended up in the back of the net."

There is nothing better - or worse - in football than a stoppage-time winner...it just depends on your perspective, obviously.

Brentford have failed to keep a clean sheet for 12 consecutive matches, with their last one ironically coming in a 0-0 draw with Fulham back in May.

The Bees were under pressure for large parts of the match and their backline had to deal with wave after wave of Fulham attacks.

Thomas Frank’s side have, despite being exciting to watch, shown defensive frailties and had conceded 10 goals in their previous four games.

Key players Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa could not get into the game and both were substituted on a frustrating night.

That's now 14 points lost from winning positions and Frank will be starting to wonder what his side have to do to see out a win.

Brentford, 12th in the league, have had a solid start to the season but will need to sort their defensive issues if they want to get higher than mid-table.

Fulham manager Marco Silva threw on Adama Traore, match-winner Harry Wilson and Rodrigo Muniz in the latter stages of the second half as the home side chased a way back into the match.

The Cottagers had not lost any of their previous five London derbies but it looked as though that record was about to be ended before Wilson’s heroics.

Wilson acrobatically flicked the ball with the outside of his boot over goalkeeper Mark Flekken to score his first. With time running out, Fulham defender Antonee Robinson clipped in a cross and Wilson stooped down and headed the ball high into the net for a 97th-minute winner, sparking wild scenes around Craven Cottage.

Fulham had deserved something from the game for their performance, while coming into this match Brentford had dropped more points from winning positions than any team in the league, and that tendency repeated itself in brutal fashion as they left Craven Cottage empty handed.

We may well hear more on this subject this evening, when Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is due to speak with the media as build-up to Wednesday's Champions League tie at Inter Milan.

Right, let's switch focus back to the Premier League and Fulham's last-gasp victory at home to Brentford.

The debate is if Arsenal should have signed a striker last season. They spread the goals, which was a positive, I get that.

And then this season when the goals have dried up a bit, that is when the argument that you need a goalscorer and natural finisher, that stands and is an area where they should have gone big in the summer on.

They would have been a really attractive proposition for centre-forwards.

If Arsenal signed a striker to even occupy centre-halves, it can free up space for others, even if they aren't scoring loads of goals.

Arteta has spent something like £680m and we are scratching our heads through the squad to find a striker.

Whether Edu's departure is a sign of manager Mikel Arteta's widening or weakening control over the football operation at Arsenal, only time will tell.

But one thing the Monday Night Club could agree on was the impact of the club's failure to bring in a new striker during the summer.

Arsenal have dropped 12 points already this season and are fifth in the Premier League table, seven points behind leaders Liverpool after failing to score in recent away defeats at Newcastle and Bournemouth.

The relationship between the manager and director of football has to be bang on. If Arsenal now go and bring someone in at all, then you feel like Arteta could be undermined.

After not winning their last three games, does it add fuel to the fire that Arteta doesn't have control upstairs?

In 2020, they changed Arteta's title from head coach to manager. Once they become that, their influence starts to creep into other areas.

It is now very much a club shaped by Arteta. In a footballing sense, it is his show. I don't think there was any real tension between Edu and Arteta, or blazing arguments from what you'd expect.

In a high-pressured environment, people fall out. Edu may have looked at it as the footballing department answering to Arteta, seeing the power of a sporting director reduced.

Maybe he wants to go somewhere with more influence?

You can read more about Edu's departure from his role as sporting director at Arsenal in Alex Howell's report on the BBC Sport website.

Edu said on Monday that "this was an incredibly hard decision to make," but added: "Now it is time to pursue a different challenge. Arsenal will always remain in my heart. I wish the club and its supporters only good things and all the very best."

The Brazilian's reported link with a new role as part of Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis's football group, and what his departure from Arsenal could mean for the club, was a topic of discussion on the Monday Night Club.

Liverpool are also in Champions League duty tonight at home to German champions Bayer Leverkusen.

The Mirror has a story on manager Arne Slot's quotes about Mohamed Salah, who caused concerns over his future at the club after posting on X after Saturday's home win over Brighton that "no matter what happens I will never forget what scoring at Anfield feels like".

The 32-year-old's current contract with Liverpool runs out in the summer, but Slot said that he is not concerned about the social media post, adding: "For me what is important is how he plays and what he tells me when we have conversations. That is what matters and not how you guys interpret one of his posts."

The Daily Telegraph

The Telegraph also leads with that story on Edu, reporting that the former Arsenal sporting director will "double" his wages with the Marinakis group after "Forest coup".

The main picture, however, is of Sporting manager Ruben Amorim laughing, alongside his quotes saying that he expects to be compared with Sir Alex Ferguson if he can mastermind a victory for his Sporting side against Manchester City in the Champions League tonight.

It will be Amorim's final home game as Sporting manager before he takes up a new job as Manchester United boss next week.

The Daily Mail

The Mail reports that Edu is in talks over fronting Nottingham Forest Evangelos Marinakis's multi-club operation after resigning from his role as sporting director at Arsenal.

A player for the club's "Invincibles" side, which won the 2003/04 Premier League title without losing a game, the 46-year-old former Brazil midfielder returned to Arsenal as sporting director five years ago.

His close working relationship with manager Mikel Arteta helped to rejuvenate the club's fortunes and provided the platform that saw them run Manchester City close in the title race over the past two seasons.
