Harry Wilson scores twice in injury time to give Fulham 2-1 win over Brentford in Premier League

LONDON (AP) — Substitute Harry Wilson scored twice in added time as Fulham rallied for a 2-1 home win over Brentford in the Premier League on Monday.

Wilson came on in the 82nd minute and equalized in the second minute of injury time by meeting a cross from Adama Traore and, with his back toward the goal, flicking the ball inside the far post. He then netted the winner four minutes later with a stooping header from another cross from Antonee Robinson as Fulham was finally rewarded for its attacking play.

Fulham had only been behind for 113 minutes in the league all season and controlled most of the early action, only for Brentford to take the lead in the 24th against the run of play.

Sloppy play in midfield by Fulham gave the visitors possession and German midfielder Vitaly Janelt let fly with a shot from almost 30 meters out that flew inside Bernd Leno’s left-hand post.

Marco Silva’s Fulham side pushed forward but never looked like scoring until Wilson's late double.

The win lifts Fulham into ninth place in the league table while Brentford remains in 13th.

“It’s emotionally very tough right now.," said Brentford coach Thomas Frank. “When you’re leading in the 92nd minute, it’s tough for us to even have a draw — and then we lose it.

“On the day, Fulham were better but we showed a lot of resilience and defending. I thought that could give us the win but then there was an unbelievable touch from Wilson where 99 times out of 100 it doesn’t go in. Then we could have won, and in the end, we lost it. It was brutal.”

BERLIN (AP) — American photographer and activist Nan Goldin has used a speech at the opening of her exhibition in Germany to condemn Israel's war in Gaza.

Goldin, 71, said Friday she wanted to use her retrospective show at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin “as a platform to amplify my position of moral outrage" at what she described as "genocide in Gaza and Lebanon.”

“My grandparents escaped pogroms in Russia. I was brought up knowing about the Nazi Holocaust. What I see in Gaza reminds me of the pogroms that my grandparents escaped,” Goldin said.

Goldin, who is of Jewish origin, was born in Washington D.C. and is a leading artist and activist whose life and work was documented in the award-winning 2022 film “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed."

She spoke of the displacement and destruction in Gaza, and told a cheering audience that criticism of Israel should not be conflated with antisemitism.

Goldin also criticized Germany and alleged that Islamophobia was being ignored in the country. “Germany is home of the largest Palestinian diaspora in Europe. Yet protests are met with police dogs and deportation and stigmatization,” she said.

Goldin walked off the stage to loud chants of “free, free Palestine," which drowned out a subsequent speech by the director of the gallery, Klaus Biesenbach.

Hermann Parzinger, the president of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, to which the Neue Nationalgalerie belongs, sharply condemned Goldin’s talk and the protesters' disruption of Biesenbach's speech.

“This does not correspond to our understanding of freedom of expression,” he said.

Biesenbach noted that he disagreed with Goldin but affirmed her right to freely express herself.

In a statement released by Biesenbach after the show's opening, cited by German news agency dpa, he said the gallery distanced itself from the protesters' stance and "clarifies that it stands for freedom of expression and respectful dialogue and interaction with each other.”

Neue Nationalgalerie’s lifetime retrospective of Goldin, titled “This Will Not End Well,” showcases a comprehensive overview of Goldin’s work, including slideshows and films backed up by music.

The Health Ministry in Gaza said this week that the death toll in the Gaza Strip from the 13-month-old war between Israel and Hamas has surpassed 44,000, with more than half of the fatalities women and children. The Gaza Health Ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count. The Israeli military says it has killed over 17,000 militants, without providing evidence.

Around 90% of Gaza's population of 2.3 million people have been displaced.

The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting another 250. Around 100 hostages are still inside Gaza, at least a third of whom are believed to be dead.
