Brentford manager Mark Warburton has singled out Stuart Dallas for praise after the winger scored twice in the Bees' 4-1 win over Fulham this afternoon.

The Northern Irishman joined teammates Alan Judge and Jota on the scoresheet as Brentford moved back into the playoff places with all three points.

Warburton believes that Dallas's loan spell at Northampton Town last season has played a crucial role in the winger's current form.

"He has done very well, and there is a lot more to come from him," Get West London quotes Warburton as saying. "His loan spell at Northampton was a big part of his development - it's all about getting the loan right."

Brentford are currently six points adrift of leaders Middlesbrough.
