Brentford 3-0 Burnley: Bryan Mbeumo & Saman Ghoddos goals help Bees claim first home win

Brentford claimed their first home win of the season as spectacular goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Saman Ghoddos helped the Bees to a valuable three points against struggling Burnley.

Ghoddos completed the scoring with three minutes remaining, arrowing a powerful shot into the far corner from the edge of the penalty area.

Thomas Frank’s team, who conceded two stopping time goals at Old Trafford a fortnight ago, got the opener their early dominance deserved when Wissa turned in Mbeumo’s low cross at the far post.

Maupay, making his first Brentford start since May 2019, thought he had given the hosts an eighth-minute lead when he nodded home Nathan Collins’ cutback from a tight angle, but the Frenchman’s header was controversially disallowed for offside against Kristoffer Ajer.

Burnley improved in the second half and should have pulled a goal back when Lyle Foster teed up Luca Koleosho with the score at 2-0, but the teenager somehow scuffed his shot past the post with the goal at his mercy.

Clarets defender Connor Roberts picked up a second yellow card late on after dragging Wissa to the floor, before Ghoddos put the seal on a comfortable Brentford victory.

The Bees move six points clear of the relegation zone, while Burnley remain in the bottom three.
