The match ended 0-0 in normal time and Bryan got the opener after a stunning free-kick from 40 yards which David Raya failed to save.

Bryan burst forward and combined with Aleksandar Mitrovic before stabbing past Raya to gain a crucial 2-0 lead with three minutes remaining.

Henrik Dalsgaard pulled a goal back for Brentford, who had actually finished third in the table.

Fulham had overcome Cardiff City in the semi-final earlier on basis of a 3-2 aggregate score.

In fact, Fulham had lost the second leg 1-2 at Craven Cottage.

It was their 2-0 win in the first leg that helped them earn a ticket to Wembley.

Meanwhile, Brentford had overcome Swansea City 3-2 on aggregate.

Their 3-1 win in the second leg made the difference.

Brentford have now failed to earn promotion in all nine of their play-off attempts in the Football League .

Fulham are only the second side to win promotion to the Premier League through the play-offs twice in the space of three seasons.

Fulham's Bryan registered a brace for the first time in his professional career.

Leeds, who finished atop in the Championship 2019-20 season, earned promotion with two games to spare.

After finishing third in the Championship last season, Leeds suffered a dramatic 4-3 play-off semi-final defeat against Derby to miss out.
