CHARLIE MacDonald's double helped Brentford to an impressive victory against high-flying Huddersfield.
The Bees leading scorer broke the deadlock from the penalty spot and added a third late on after Lewis Grabban had fired the hosts into a 2-0 lead.
Andy Scott's side dominated the first-half against Lee Clark's promotion-chasers, with Grabban forcing Alex Smithies into a smart save midway through the half.
The on-loan Millwall star eventually had the ball in the net just after the half-hour mark when he deflected home MacDonald's long-range effort, only to be denied by the linesman's flag.
Huddersfield hit back after the break, with Wojciech Szczesny forced into a couple of decent saves.
But Brentford took the lead in the 71 st minute through MacDonald.
Peter Clarke handled the ball in the box, and the Bees hitman made no mistake from the spot.
Gary Roberts wasted a glorious chance to equalise for the visitors, and he was made to pay moments later when Grabban put the Bees two goals to the good.
Carl Cort sent him in the clear, and he lashed the ball past Smithies to wrap up the points.
MacDonald rubbed salt into the visitors's wounds late on, while Roberts blazed a late penalty over the bar for Town as Brentford ran out comfortable winners.
