Brentford vs Fulham
It ends all square in the west London derby and a draw seems like a fair result in the end. However, a goalless draw does not convey the full picture as both teams had a host of chances which they missed. Brentford had the best chance of the first half as Mbeumo's shot hit the bar. The second half saw Jimenez miss a chance for Fulham which he should have converted, comfortably missing an open target. Fulham ended with a higher xG of 1.19 to Brentford's 0.63, with that Jimenez chance certainly the highlight. Both these teams do not have much left to play for in the final couple of games, but they will look to end the season on a high. Brentford are away to Bournemouth next, while Fulham will host reigning champions Manchester City.
