The Cottagers will hopefully return for the third time to the English Premier League after just one year as a Championship club.

Fulham needed extra time to secure their spot in the English Premier League, and there are some facts and stats that are worthy of attention.

The Cottagers return to the EPL after ending the season in fourth place of the Championship, and once the team made it to the playoff stage, Scott Parker's men defeated Cardiff to earn a spot in the promotion match. The game against Brentford was everything but easy, as clearly shown by how the match was decided.

Joe Bryan's brace was crucial to secure the spot in the English top-flight, It was not an easy game for the white and black side, but it capped a massive effort by Scott Parker, who will go down in history with his team's win tonight.

Tonight's win has also set a record in the history of Championship playoff games.

The Cottagers' accuracy when it comes to scoring free kicks has also earned them a spot among the most on-point teams in that department considering all top tiers in English football.

And of course, this report would not be complete without mentioning Joe Bryan's performance.
