It was an unconvincing victory with the Germans making hard work of it all in the first-half when the Brentford winger was still on t

Brentford (2) 3 v Liverpool (1) 2 Premier League Matchweek 9 Talking Points By Kaz Mochlinski at the Brentford Community Stadium It is two wins in a Premier League season of 38 matches, but the six points secured in the space of six days by Brentford, at West Ham United and against Liverpool, could prove more meaningful than most.

Cup favourites : Chelsea have a great chance of another League Cup semi-final There is only one club outside the Premier League left in this year's Carabao Cup and Chelsea have drawn them. The Blues will head to the Cardiff City Stadium in December to take on the Welshmen, who defeated Wrexham in this week's Fourth Round, while Enzo Maresca's men were edging a nervy tie at Wolves 4-3. There are five sides from the capital among the last eight, but only one of them has been dr

It seems unlikely that the Great Dane's magnificent contribution to Brentford's recent history will ever be forgotten and he was always going to be a tough act to follow. But boy is the previously unheralded Keith Andrews making a decent fist of it. When Brentford lost 3-1 at Fulham a mon
