That was poor from the Bees. A ball straight through the middle finds its way to Josh Murphy. He fizzes a cross that avoids everyone.

We’re back out for the second half. There’s no changes at the break. Speaking to the fans outside, they’d have made three.

Brentford get themselves into trouble but just scramble things clear. It’s evened up more as the half goes on. We’re going to have two minutes of added time.

James Linington is not popular at Griffin Park. Christoph Zimmerman was clearly pulling back Neal Maupay, who was trying to stay on his feet. Nothing given.

Great work from Theo Archibald again, who has really impressed so far. He links up with Kamo Mokotjo whose cross is fired wide by Nico Yennaris.

  • Share

Dean Smith said at the recent fans’ forum that Barbet was the penalty taker when he was on the pitch. I wonder if it will now be Neal Maupay’s turn after that effort.

Barbet misses a penalty

It’s miles over the bar. Terrible, terrible penalty
