Damsgaard with the assist

Brentford 2.56 xG (2) - (2) 1.34 xG Wolves

That didn’t last long. Damsgaard coming off due to injury.

Bees probably shift into the 4-2-2-2 with Schade coming off for Yarmo. #BREWOL #BrentfordFC

Thiago finds the back of the net after Kelleher's long ball to Ouattara. Bees consistently building out of the back led to Wolves pushing higher and higher up the pitch which opened things up. #BREWOL #BrentfordFC

Kayode with a huge smile after scoring a brilliant header on Keane Lewis-Potter's cross. Bees on top. 1-0. #BREWOL #BrentfordFC

As suspected, Brentford coming out with a more aggressive press. Looking to force some errors at the back. #BREWOL #BrentfordFC

🎙️ Keith Andrews on player support "Players should have support. They put themselves out there in front of the world and every single person feels that they have a right to critique them from behind a laptop and a phone; at times it is quite cowardly. We’ve gone through an era where that nearly felt acceptable, but I think it has changed a little bit. We are a bit more considered about how we critique people, and rightly so. I treat them as human beings before I even look at them as players; that’s the most important thing"

Brentford creating plenty of chances from set plays thanks to Nathan Collins. Bees created 1.36 xG from set plays at the half. However, Brentford are uncharacteristically giving up xGA on set plays (1.46 xGA). #WHUBRE #BrentfordFC

Multiple examples of defensive efforts come to mind, such as Thiago chasing down Tavernier in Brentford’s own third to win back possession. Schade’s pace also helped disrupt counters and cover up mistakes.

A forgettable attacking display, with Brentford seemingly running out of steam on two days rest, but an intense defensive effort led to a hard-fought point.
