Last week, the Bees scored inside 30 seconds at the Etihad Stadium to stun Manchester City thanks to Yoane Wissa's close–range header. Although Brentford would go on to lose the match, it was still an electric start from Thomas Frank's team.

It doesn't get much tougher than away matches at Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham to start the season. Having taken the lead, Brentford were quickly put under huge pressure by Spurs. Spurs were set up to jump on any errors but there was little pressure on Ethan Pinnock when he played the pass.
