Brentford 3 Fulham 0: Watch Premier League target Said Benrahma’s incredible nutmeg and strike to down Cottagers
SAID BENRAHMA inspired Brentford to a sensational 3-0 win over Fulham in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
In a repeat of last season’s Championship play-off final, this time it was the Bees who came out trumps.
And that is why Premier League clubs are tracking Saïd Benrahma

And they did it in emphatic manner, too, as they ripped the struggling Cottagers to shreds at their new stadium.
Benrahma scored twice, including a sensational solo strike, following Marcus Forss’ first-half opener.
But the cherry on top of the revenge performance was Benrahma’s second and Brentford’s third.
The Algerian star, 25, turned his man with a sensational bit of footwork all of 30 yards out.
After taking a couple of touches, Benrahma curled home a phenomenal strike to kill off the game.
Brentford will now advance to the League Cup quarter-finals for the first time in their history.
Chelsea, Crystal Palace, West Ham and Aston Villa have all been linked with a summer move for Benrahma.
But if nothing else, Thursday evening’s mauling only further highlighted Fulham’s defensive problems.
