but the forward can't find the right cross and it's cleared. But Nick Pope makes a big step to his right and pulls off a fine one-handed save around the post. Burnley are the first team in the relegation zone at 18th, with 21 points. Jay-Rod drops to the bench. At the moment, Brentford lie 15th, with 27 points. A lucky escape for Burnley and Pope. Janelt just needed a little glance on it! Every win in the Premier League is such a big thing - it's so difficult to achieve. He dazzled in the win at Norwich and was perhaps man of the match despite Toney's hat-trick. It pings off the upright.

3. Eriksen proves an inspired signing already: The world works in mysterious ways, as they say, for Christian Eriksen would have never — not in a million years — been a Brentford player in March of 2022 had he not suffered a cardiac arrest in the summer, while playing club football in a country that wouldn’t allow him to return to playing with a defibrillator implanted in his body.

Christian Eriksen, making his second start for Brentford after signing in January, found Toney’s forehead with a sensational cross in the 85th minute, and last season’s EFL Championship Golden Boot winner converted from the penalty spot eight minutes later to put the game out of reach.

The experience level is right, the energy is right but you have to find the details. We need to start putting more points on the board. We have a lot more than that.

Every win is a massive thing in the Premier League because it’s so difficult to win. Over the season the margins have been tight and there have been some when we have come away from our performance but definitely not today. Nowadays you touch people in the box and it’ll be given. We were not a million miles away but you have to score a goal and that’s not what we’ve done. In terms of big saves David Raya had one, which was a decisive save. We have different players with Wout and Maxwel.
