Alex Iwobi capped a dynamic display with a goal and an assist as Fulham came from behind to beat Brentford and secure their second Premier League victory of the season.
The Bees took the lead when a careless pass from Josh King on the edge of the box was intercepted by Mikkel Damsgaard, who struck a composed low finish into the corner of the net.
Fulham equalised after Sasa Lukic's shot ballooned up into a congested box and the ball dropped for Iwobi to sweep through the legs of Brentford skipper Nathan Collins and into the net.
The Cottagers then got themselves in front two minutes later and Iwobi was instrumental, bisecting the Brentford defence with a superb pass for Harry Wilson to fire home.
Fulham's momentum continued into the second half and they increased their advantage when Ethan Pinnock misjudged a header from Ryan Sessegnon's cross and diverted the ball into his own net off his shoulder blades.
Rodrigo Muniz thought he had notched a stunning fourth with a powerful angled half-volley that Caoimhin Kelleher could not stop.
However, referee Michael Oliver consulted the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) and chalked it off for a coming together between Muniz and Collins which left the Bees defender with blood pouring from his mouth.
Fulham's win helped them climb up to seventh in the table while Brentford slip down a place to 17th.

Fulham analysis: Iwobi sparkles
Player of the match
After the opportunity to rate players has closed, the score displayed represents the average from all the submissions by BBC Sport users.
Before this encounter Fulham had scored just one goal from open play this season but Silva relaxed the sleeves of their defensive straitjacket against Brentford and his side played with more adventure.
That attacking ambition was spearheaded by the impressive Iwobi, whose intelligent use of the ball in possession and slickness in transition was key for the Cottagers.
For just the second time in his career - the first coming against Liverpool in April - he scored and assisted in a Premier League game.
It is rare for the joy of scoring a goal to be eclipsed by supplying one for a team-mate, yet this might have been one such instance.
Iwobi's strike was a case of right place and right time, as he crisply whipped a low effort past Kelleher following Brentford's bungled attempts to clear.
The assist for Wilson's goal 98 seonds later was the game's stellar moment, though.
The Nigeria international exquisitely threaded an angled ball out of reach of the toes of Brentford's defenders and Wilson dispatched it with aplomb.
Fulham's third goal effectively sealed the result and it then became a Silva masterclass in organisation and discipline as they saw the game out without too much threat.
Brentford analysis: Loss of belief for Bees
It's still early days in Keith Andrews' managerial reign at Brentford but the Irishman has plenty to ponder.
For starters, Brentford's haul of four points from five games is their lowest in five seasons in the Premier League.
They certainly would have hoped for more from a run of games against Sunderland, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Chelsea and Fulham.
Of greater concern is their ability to hold on to the lead when they get their noses in front.
The fortitude that existed under Andrews' predecessor Thomas Frank appears to have been diluted a little and this was quite a disjointed display.
Indeed, Brentford have now lost eight points from winning positions in the Premier League this season - more than any other team in the English top flight.
When Fulham got back on level terms at Craven Cottage the confidence and belief seemed to drain out of Brentford's players.
Their second-half display yielded five shots - two on target - but it's difficult to remember Bernd Leno having a testing save to make.
The season is still in its infancy but with Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City in three of their next four games, it's not going to get any easier for Andrews.
What's next for these teams?
Fulham host Cambridge United in the third round of the Carabao Cup at Craven Cottage on Tuesday, 23 September at 19:45 BST then travel to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday, 28 September at 14:00.
Brentford are next in action on Saturday, 27 September at 12:30 BST when they host Manchester United in the Premier League.
