Monday night’s Premier League game between Brentford and Fulham was only six minutes old when Ethan Pinnock fired the hosts ahead.
It being a west London derby, the atmosphere was electric, and Pinnock’s early intervention ensured that continued.
With both teams hovering around mid-table in the English top-flight, a win for either keeps their slender Europa League or Conference League hopes alive.
Brentford certainly started the brighter of the two, and the goal was a just reward for their efforts.
