"Igor Thiago scored twice and Caoimhin Kelleher saved a second-half penalty from Bruno Fernandes as Brentford recorded an impressive 3-1 victory over Manchester United. Mathias Jensen's stunner made sure of the points for Brentford in the fifth minute of stoppage time, with the outcome of an entertaining contest having remained in the balance. Brentford hit the front early on when Jordan Henderson's raking ball from well inside his own half picked out Thiago racing clear in behind."
"Bryan Mbeumo, on his first return to Brentford, was pulled back inside the box by James Collins, with the Bees captain escaping a red card after a VAR check for the denial of a goal-scoring opportunity. But Fernandes saw his spot-kick brilliantly saved by Kelleher down to his left, and Jensen then struck shortly after coming off the bench with a fizzing shot from distance."
