Benrahma brace sends Brentford into EFL Cup quarter-finals with victory over Fulham

Said Benrahma found the back of the net twice as Brentford got the better of Premier League side Fulham in a 3-0 EFL Cup fourth round win on Thursday.

Both sides met in the Championship promotion play-off final last season with the Cottagers coming out triumphant 2-1 after extra-time at Wembley.

The Bees have had a reputation of dealing with top-flight sides in the cup competition this season. After a 5-3 penalty shootout win over fellow Championship side Wycombe Wanderers in the first round, Brentford went on to dispatch Southampton and West Bromwich Albion in the second and third rounds respectively with a 2-0 win at St Mary’s and 7-6 penalty shootout win at the Hawthorns.
