Brentford vs Everton
OFF THE POST AND BLAZED OVER! HOW HAVE BRENTFORD NOT SCORED?! Henry gets free of Patterson on the left wing and teases a cross into an unmarked Toney on the penalty spot. The striker rises well and makes a great connection with his header but can only send it crashing off the post. Wissa makes a late run into the box and has a volley at the open goal from five yards out but somehow sends the chance over!
Brentford vs Everton
McNeil curls in a corner but it’s put too high for Tarkowski at the back post, instead rolling behind for a goal-kick which will - at the very least - prevent a counter-attack.
Brentford vs Everton
Dasilva is squeezed off the ball by a combination of Tarkowski and Iwobi but Pickford’s pass out from the back fails to find Mykolenko, with the delivery sailing over the head of the wing-back and out for a Brentford throw.
Brentford vs Everton
A Brentford attack abruptly comes to an end after Toney is called for a foul on Coady, with the striker backing into the defender and sending him to the ground with a whack to the face. It’s been a physical battle so far but this time the forward is a bit too eager.
Brentford vs Everton
The hosts have often looked the better of the two sides in the opening half hour but it’s the visitors who hit first with clinical finishing. The defence will need to hold from here however, with Everton failing to register a clean sheet in the league thus far.
