Brentford vs Crystal Palace
That's all from us, we hope you enjoyed the game! Until the next one though, it's goodbye for now.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
A point apiece in this end-to-end London derby means Brentford's unbeaten start to the season continues, and the Bees sit sixth with five points from three games ahead of their next game against Bournemouth. Palace have now won, lost and drawn one game each in 2023-24, and are 10th in the table prior to facing Wolves at Selhurst Park next up.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
Ayew was a constant threat in the final third for Palace, and laid on the back-heeled pass for Andersen's eventual equaliser. The Ghana forward managed five total shots, albeit with just one on target, and that assist for Andersen was one of three chances created. With the ball at his feet, Ayew contested a game-high 21 duels, winning 11, as well as engaging in seven dribbles and winning possession on five occasions. He also won four free-kicks, conceding three himself, in a game which despite having a fair few stoppages, left us out of breath just trying to keep up!
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
It's all over in west London, with the spoils shared at the end of a fiercely contested game. Andersen's equaliser 14 minutes from time came following a plethora of chances for Palace, and from then on, the two sides traded in unsuccessful efforts to find a winner. Brentford couldn't follow up Schade's first-half screamer with another goal, although Janelt, Mbeumo and Onyeka all had the opportunity to do so. Palace meanwhile, forced a series of world-class saves from Flekken, with Edouard, Lerma and Ayew all denied to ensure the spoils were shared.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
Brentford launch one last attack as Mbeumo finds Hickey running through with an inside ball, but the full-back's shot sails beyond the side netting as the full-time whistle goes!
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
BLOCKED!!! Mbeumo's reverse ball into the area is brought down skilfully by Onyeka, but his Guehi gets in the way of his half-volley to bail Palace out once again!
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
CHANCE!!! Mbuemo barges his way forward before hooking a cross back from the byline. It bounces kindly for Henry on the edge of the box, but he takes a heavy touch and races after the ball. Ward gets in the way and takes the Bees left-back down, but the referee awards the hosts a corner rather than the penalty Henry was demanding!
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
CHANCE!!! Ward's challenge on Janelt sends the ball back into the danger area, and Guehi has to race across to put the ball behind and prevent Lewis-Potter from going one-on-one with Johnstone!
