Scott Parker on his way back to the Premier League

I reactivated my DAZN subscription tonight to watch Fulham v Brentford in the EFL Championship Play-off Final. And it was worth the money.

The Cottagers, managed by ex-West Ham star Scott Parker (three time Hammer of the Year 2009-2011), beat Brentford 2-1 AET and made an immediate return to the Premier League due to two extra time goals from left- back Joe Bryan.

Bryan, an unlikely hero for Fulham, gained them promotion to the Premier League with the first brace of his career. His first goal came from a brilliantly taken 40-yard-free-kick which caught Brentford’s goalkeeper off guard, and the second from a one-two with Fulham’s top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic inside the box (below). Brentford could only pull one back in injury time before the final whistle sparked jubilant celebrations from Fulham!

Joe Bryan on his first goal: “Scott (Parker) told me to whip it near post, that was for my dad, he used to give me the eyes when he made me go in goal.”
