Fulham beat Brentford 2-1 in the Championship play-off final on Tuesday meaning the team can return to the Premier League after one season in the English second tier. 

Defender Joe Bryan struck twice in extra time after the two London sides were locked at 0-0 at the end of 90 minutes at an empty Wembley. 

Henrik Dalsgaard scored a late consolation for Brentford. 

Full-back Bryan broke the deadlock for Fulham in the 105th minute when he caught out Brentford goalkeeper David Raya with a free-kick from the left side which was 35 yards (32 meters) out. 

Promotion was confirmed for Fulham, but only after Henrik Dalsgaard had pulled one back for Brentford in the 124th minute. 

He headed home after Christian Norgaard had knocked a free-kick across the face of goal. 

"I'm not the hero, every single one of them, fans and people around us who have been with us all season is," 26-year-old Bryan told Sky Sports. 

"We took it to them, we scored twice, they made it hard for us but they're a good team and they've been playing really well…I can't believe we made it straight back up." 

Brentford's Danish manager Thomas Frank was disappointed but still able to put the season in some perspective. 

"Of course it is tough when you lose a final like this in a tight game. But we have gone from a mid-table club to a team who, in the league table, was the third-best team," he said. 

"We are very fine margins away from the Premier League, which is an incredible achievement from us."
