Scott Parker says "due diligence" was key in playoff final

The 39-year-old labelled promotion the proudest moment of his whole career.

Scott Parker was delighted Fulham’s due diligence on Brentford paid off to earn them a 2-1 victory after extra-time of the Sky Bet Championship play-off final and promotion to the Premier League.

Left-back Joe Bryan struck a brace at Wembley to help the Whites seal an instant return to the top flight and clinch bragging rights over their west London rivals.

The defender stunned Bees goalkeeper David Raya in the 105th minute when his 35-yard free-kick caught out the Spanish stopper at his near post.

“They are in the Prem and I wish them the best of luck. It is tough when you lose in a final in a very, very tight game, but I am extremely proud of my players and this club and all we have achieved.

“We have gone from a mid-table club to a team who were the third best team and we played three teams who either directly came down from the Premier League last year or two years ago.

“I think we are very fine margins away from the Premier League which is an incredible achievement by us so I can’t praise my players and my staff enough, but this is football you don’t always get what you deserve.”
