Fulham into Championship play-off final despite Cardiff City scare to set up Brentford clash

mirror.co.uk:

Fulham will take on Brentford in the play-off final after surviving a spirited Cardiff City fight back at Craven Cottage. Scott Parker's side bought a 2-0 lead back from the Welsh capital but lost 2-1 on the banks of the Thames.

It means the Wembley showpiece will be an all west London affair as the Cottagers bid to return to the top flight at the first time of asking.

But the Bluebirds made Fulham sweat in the second-half after Lee Tomlin's strike left them just one goal away from forcing extra-time.

Curtis Nelson opened the scoring for Cardiff after just eight minutes as he rose highest from a corner to give the visitors the perfect start.
