Brentford aims to qualify for Europe for the first time. However, they faced a setback on April 18, 2026. Brentford was held to a 0-0 draw by Fulham at the Gtech Community Stadium.
This match marked Brentford’s fifth consecutive draw in the Premier League. They missed the chance to leapfrog Chelsea into the top six. Brentford remains seventh in the league with 48 points.
Fulham sits in 12th place, three points behind Brentford. A point does little for Fulham’s own European ambitions as they remain in a mid-table position.
Igor Thiago has been a standout player for Brentford this season, scoring 21 goals. Yet, he was unable to move level with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland in the race for the Golden Boot as Fulham kept him in check.
Brentford produced 13 shots during the match, with four on target. Despite this effort, they could not find the back of the net. Their last win in the league was against Burnley at the end of February.
This was a fifth consecutive league draw for Brentford for the first time since 1957—one that will hurt their chances of securing European football next season. Keith Andrews, who did not make any substitutions on Saturday, will need to return his team to winning ways soon if they are to avoid letting a promising season drift away.
