Fulham cancel out early goal and Cardiff now back to within one!

Brentford are awaiting the winner of Fulham and Cardiff in the final of the Championship play-offs. The winner of the play-offs gets a spot in the Premier League next term. 

Nelson scored the first goal after eight minutes when he headed home a lovely corner by Joe Ralls. However, the Bluebirds' joy was shortlived. 

Fulham kicked off and within less than a minute, it was 1-1 and Fulham had a 3-1 advantage on aggregate. 

Reid sent a low cross to near the penalty spot and Kebano beat his defender to the ball to hit it first time past Smithies. 

Two minutes into the second half, Cardiff went back in front through Tomlin after the goalkeeper saved an initial header, Hector did not clear properly and Tomlin volleyed home from close range.
