Fulham Achieves Record-Breaking Premier League Season
Fulham Football Club has reached a historic milestone in the Premier League, amassing a club-record 54 points following a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over Brentford on Sunday. This achievement surpasses their previous best of 53 points set during the 2008–09 season under Roy Hodgson, when the team secured a seventh-place finish and qualification for the UEFA Europa League.
The West London derby against Brentford was a testament to Fulham's resilience and determination. Despite trailing 2-1, the Cottagers rallied with two goals in quick succession. Substitute Harry Wilson delivered a stunning long-range strike just four minutes after entering the pitch, securing the win and completing Fulham's first league double over Brentford since 1948.
Under the guidance of head coach Marco Silva, Fulham has transformed into a formidable Premier League side. Silva's strategic acquisitions of experienced players, such as Bernd Leno and Alex Iwobi, have bolstered the squad's performance. The team's strong defensive record, conceding fewer expected goals per match than all but Arsenal and Liverpool, highlights their tactical discipline.
This season's success not only marks a new high in points but also positions Fulham as contenders for European competition. With one match remaining, the Cottagers are just one point behind Brentford in the standings, keeping their hopes for European qualification alive.
