Brentford clinched an impressive 4-2 win over Brighton at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday in what turned out to be the standout clash among the 3pm fixtures.
Having gone several weeks without a win, with draws and losses against teams like Newcastle, Chelsea, and Arsenal, Thomas Frank’s men were eager to end their dry spell. And they did just that in front of their home fans.
Bryan Mbeumo stole the spotlight with a brace, while goals from Yoane Wissa and Christian Norgaard sealed a much-needed victory for the Bees.
Brighton, on the other hand, saw their efforts from Danny Welbeck and Kaoru Mitoma go unrewarded.
The Seagulls’ woes deepened when Joao Pedro received a red card for violent conduct, meaning the forward now faces a three-game suspension.
Elsewhere, eyes were on the Everton vs Manchester City tie, with fans anticipating a thrilling encounter.
With David Moyes back in charge making the Toffees hard to break down, and City locked in their chase for a Champions League spot, expectations were understandably high.
