A repeat of last season's Championship play-off final saw Fulham heavily beaten on their first trip to the Brentford Community Stadium.
The returning Said Benrahma enjoyed a starring role as Thomas Frank's side gained revenge on their west London rivals, bagging a brace that included a fantastic second goal.
Marcus Forss opened the scoring for Brentford, who will face Premier League Newcastle in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

Prediction: Brentford 2-1 Fulham
The two sides are surprisingly similar to the ones that met at Wembley, with Ollie Watkins Brentford's only major exit so far and Fulham yet to make many signings.
However, this competition provides more of an incentive to the Bees - with Frank having spoken of a desire to make history - than to Fulham, for whom picking up their first Premier League points of the season is the big priority.
