Brentford boss Thomas Frank refuses to blame goalkeeper David Raya and hails 'brilliance' of Joe Bryan as he congratulates Fulham after narrow play-off defeat... and vows to 'come back ever stronger' next season

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has vowed his team will return even stronger next season, after they failed at the final hurdle in the Championship playoff final.

Fulham won the game 2-1 after extra time, meaning they will be going up to play in the Premier League next season alongside Leeds and West Bromwich Albion.

'There's been some good examples in the past with teams coming back even stronger,' said Frank to Sky Sports after the game. 'With this club, I'm 100% sure we are coming back even stronger.'
