Keith Andrews' side has now drawn its past five matches in the Premier League, with the teams below it having the chance to keep the pressure on in the race for Europe.

Brentford started strong and could have opened the scoring just 10 minutes in, but Igor Thiago's thumping header hit the outside of the right post.

Ryan Sessegnon blazed Fulham's best first-half opening over the crossbar, while Keane Lewis-Potter did the same at the other end after a clever drag back.

Dango Ouattara fired a pacy shot at Leno as Brentford continued to pile the pressure on after the break, while Harry Wilson's clearest chance was squared across goal and out for a throw-in at the other end.

The game sprung into life in the final five minutes, with Lewis-Potter's header hitting Thiago before Ouattara slid in to poke a shot on goal, but Leno made a stunning fingertip stop to deny him and ensure Fulham did not leave Gtech Community Stadium empty-handed.

Brentford stays seventh, now level on points with Chelsea, which plays Manchester United next up. Fulham remains 12th, three points behind them.

Although Fulham was far from its best, Leno believes the point it earned could be crucial come the final day of the season.

"These moments right at the end of the game are always the best," Leno said of his save.

"I wasn't sure at first if I'd kept it out, but then my team-mates came up to me. I thought we deserved the point.

"We've got five more finals. Maybe this point can decisive at the end.

"Next week, we've got another big game [Aston Villa], and we look forward to it."
