Covid football was weird, wasn’t it?
As the world went into lockdown, games carried on in the summer of 2020 to crowds of zero.
One of those games happened five years ago today as Fulham played Brentford in the Championship play-off final.
It was a day that would go into folklore for Cottagers fans with Joe Bryan scoring twice in extra-time as the west London outfit beat their neighbours to return to the Premier League.
Happy Joe Bryan day! 🤍 pic.twitter.com/8FZ6ozXv3A

That first goal, by the way.
