BRENTFORD boss Andy Scott hailed hotshot Ben Strevens after he came off the bench to bag the winner against Tranmere.

The Bees striker, a first-half substitute for the crocked Carl Cort , struck the decisive blow late on to extend Scott's side's unbeaten run and move them into the top 10.

And the Griffin Park chief was quick to praise the former Dagenham frontman.

He said: "Strevs has been frustrated by his lack of chances recently. Like everyone who's been out of the side and come into it, he's performed very well when called upon.

"He showed good energy, done a lot of work up front and got his rewards. It was a great ball in by Charlie [MacDonald] and Strevs was in the right place at the right time to stick it in."
