Brentford vs Southampton
We're back under way at the Brentford Community Stadium.
Brentford vs Southampton
Ralph Hasenhuttl will be disappointed with his side's performance in both boxes. They've controlled possession, but have not been able to make it count. The home side have been very effective on the break and another goal would surely take the contest away from the Saints once and for all.
Brentford vs Southampton
Brentford hold a 2-0 lead over Southampton at the break in their Premier League clash. Goals from Pontus Jansson and Yoane Wissa put the home side in command of the scoreline, but the Saints were guilty of a host of missed opportunities. Whereas the Bees were clinical in the opening 15 minutes, the visitors failed to capitalise on their good play in the final third and face an uphill challenge in the second half to earn a positive result.

Eriksen wins the ball in the Southampton half and feeds Mbeumo down the inside-right channel. The forward looks for Toney, but Bednarek makes a vital interception at the near post.
