Review
This was the last of our string of 6 games against the top six teams and we've taken 1 point from the 18 available. Brentford's first goal was due to our poor defending; the third was due to our poor defending and goalkeeping. We need better defence. Oh, and a goalscorer. Anthony Knockaert had a 60th minute equalizer ruled out for a Lyle Taylor offised, and then to make things worse he was harshly sent for a second yellow in the 95th minute for diving when he was clearly knocked on the leg by the defender.
Stats:
Due to Coronavirus regulations, the game was played behind closed doors and the official attendance was 0.
