Match Overview
LONDON, April 18 (Reuters) – Brentford and Fulham drew 0-0 in the Premier League on Saturday in a West London derby that could have boosted either side’s hopes of a place in Europe but ultimately fell flat.
Implications for European Qualification

Home side Brentford, now on five successive league draws, missed a chance to go ahead of Chelsea in sixth while Fulham stayed 12th after a game they really needed to win with English sides vying for as many as 10 slots in Europe next season.
