Brentford go into the half-time interval trailing 2-1 at MK Dons after a first half that was not at the standard they would set themselves.

The Bees fell behind to Ryan Seager's sixth minute strike after a ball over the top down the right wing.

When Dean Smith's side played the football many know they are capable of then they looked dangerous.

And the equaliser came from Florian Jozefzoon's corner. Harlee Dean nodded the ball down and Neal Maupay was there to turn the ball home from two yards out to open his account.

However, a defensive mix-up between Tom Field and Luke Daniels presented the ball to Kieran Agard, with Seager grabbing his second of the game.

Below are how the Bees rated in the first 45 minutes.

Luke Daniels – Some miscommunication with Tom Field led to MK Dons going back in front. 5

Henrik Dalsgaard – Some good touches and looked lively down the right flank. 6

Harlee Dean – Took a knock where it hurt early on but set up Brentford's equaliser. 7

Andreas Bjelland – Did a solid job in defence, mopping up counter attacks. 6

Tom Field – He's had better 45 minutes and he'd be the first to admit it. 5

Ryan Woods – A typical Ryan Woods performance as he looked to drive the Bees forward. 7

Kamo Mokotjo – A second game in three days was a good test and he'll have learned about the best ways of recovering. 6

Ollie Watkins – Shown some lively touches on the ball. 7

Josh Clarke – Better suited on the right side of Brentford's front three than the left but a good performance. 7

Neal Maupay – A poacher's goal but showed well, even when starved of service. 7

Florian Jozefzonn – Looked bright throughout the first 45 minutes. 8
