BRYAN MBEUMO’S retaken penalty helped lift Brentford to a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace in soggy conditions at Selhurst Park, as Ireland international Nathan Collins impressed with a man-of-the-match performance.
Although Premier League debutant Romain Esse scored with his first touch in the 85th minute, moments after his introduction, the visitors held on. Neither side came close again until Yoane Wissa collected the ball just outside the penalty area in the 22nd minute, forcing the diving Dean Henderson to stick out a glove.
There was still nothing in it at the break after Ismaila Sarr sent in a low cross from the right without a team-mate to meet it in time as the ball skipped in front of Tyrick Mitchell’s toe. Christian Norgaard was forced off by injury thereafter, replaced by Mathias Jensen in the 54th minute. The Cameroon international stepped up again and did not miss, sending Dean Henderson — who had correctly read the initial attempt — the wrong way.
