Brentford kept a first clean sheet in five Premier League outings against Fulham at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
That is no doubt the positive that Thomas Frank will take from his side's showing in the west London derby. Both sides had their moments in a meeting that left supporters leaving the ground still with a thirst for action.
Nonetheless, the Bees lacked a cutting edge in the final third with Cottagers shot-stopper Bernd Leno relatively untroubled on his trip to the Gtech. With just one home match left this season, against Newcastle United, Frank will hope to regain some goal threat to end the campaign on a high.
Here's how the Brentford players rated.
1. Mark Flekken - 8
Kept a clean sheet and didn't look troubled.
2. Sergio Reguilon - 7
Never quite got the better of Iwobi and didn't have much more luck against Adama, but job complete at the back with a clean sheet. Grew in influence going forwards as time went on. Photo: Getty Images
3. Ethan Pinnock - 8
Pretty faultless this afternoon. A dominant presence. Photo: Getty Images
4. Nathan Collins - 7
Solid today. His distribution could have been better at times but will be happy with the clean sheet.
