Bryan Mbeumo’s double and a goal by Yoane Wissa earned Brentford a comfortable 3-1 home win over promoted Southampton in the Premier League, sending the visitors to the bottom of the table.

Mbeumo put the hosts in front just before halftime with a simple low finish, following up on Kevin Schade’s strike which bounced off the post.

He doubled the advantage in the 65th minute with a first-time shot into the bottom corner of the net and Wissa bundled the ball in four minutes later before Southampton pulled a goal back in stoppage time through Yukinari Sugawara.

Brentford moved up to fifth on six points while Southampton prop up the standings without a point.

Great play again from Dibling who plays his way past the Brentford players to get a cross in, but the shot is blocked by Brereton Diaz. The youngster has been bright since entering the field of play, and it's no surprise the Southampton are impressed.

GOOOOOAL! Brentford score again. A long ball is thrown into the box, and eventually falls to Wissa who scrambles the ball into the back of the net. Ramsdale thought he stopped it, but the ball was over the line despite hesitation and the goal is given. Brentford lead 3-0, there's no coming back now for the visitiors. 3-0

Chance for Southampton down the other end of the pitch as Sugawara has an attempt that is just over the crossbar. Just inches away from getting his side back in this game immeidately.

GOOOOOAL! Mbeumo capitalises again on a mistake from the back by Southampton. They are just over 20 minutes from their fourth consecutive defeat by Brentford, who have been on hand all afternoon to make the Saints pay for their mistakes. 2-0
