    A glance at the stats above and there can be few complaints from Fulham about the result. Brentford dominated possession and had double the amount of shots.

    Brentford boss Mark Warburton: "I thought we were very good first half and we perhaps should have taken more of our chances. At the break I told them that and I wanted us to continue in the second half. During the 60-75-minute period we weren't quite at it and we suffered.

    "This is an intimidating place to come. I thought we responded well and our fitness levels were good. Jota is a talented boy, his goal may have taken a deflection but we will take it.

    "The players are hungry now. We lacked self belief at the start of the season but we've picked up some big wins recently and that gives everyone confidence to go on a good run."

    Fulham striker Ross McCormack: I can't disagree with Harlee that they were the better team. We nick a goal on the counter but they were the better team. We need to improve, it is as simple as that. Sloppiness by us at the end and they thoroughly deserved it."

    Brentford defender and goal scorer Harlee Dean on Sky Sports: "It is a big achievement but we are not just here for the fun of it. We played some good stuff and deserved the win. The sky is our limit. You never know what can happen. I don't think many teams will live with us if we pass it like that."

    How about this for a Championship table then? Brentford up into fourth - albeit having played a game more than their rivals. I'm not sure too many people would have bet on Bournemouth and Brentford pushing for the Premier League against teams with a budget that is a on a different planet. Just shows money isn't everything...

    The answer is no as Cardiff make it five wins in a row at home under manager Russell Slade. The hosts move to within three points of the top six, while Reading flounder in 14th.

    Can 10-man Reading get a late leveller at Cardiff? Seconds to play here.

    Starting to dream Brentford fans? A west London derby win moves the Bees into fourth in the Championship and just one point off leaders Derby County. What a story for the newly promoted side.

    Four minutes of injury time at Cardiff. Time for some late drama in Wales too?

  12. GOALpublished at 21:35 Greenwich Mean Time 21 November 2014

    A magical substitution by Brentford boss Mark Warburton. Spanish playmaker Jota, only on for 13 minutes, cuts inside from the right and shoots towards goal from 20 yards. Goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli looks to have it covered until the ball deflects off Dan Burn to leave him wrong footed.

    Absolutely brilliant from the big centre-back.

    Substitute Stuart Dallas does well to reach the ball on the bye line on the left and cross low into the area. The ball flashes past a couple of Fulham defenders and Harlee Dean powers the ball into the top corner.

    Eight minutes to find the winner.
