Wolves vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction today

Wolves vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction today

Ivan Toney inspired Brentford to their first away win in the top flight for 74 years with a 2-0 victory at Wolves.

Toney almost moved to Molineux from Northampton as a teenager in 2014, the move collapsing when he failed a medical, so it was perhaps inevitable he would star as Wolves slumped to a fourth straight home Premier League defeat.

The 25-year-old had a goal, an assist and two disallowed in the first half alone as a clinical Brentford side got their first top-flight win since beating Leeds 2-1 in 1947, with Bryan Mbeumo also on target.

A second-half red card for Shandon Baptiste threatened to spoil Brentford’s afternoon, but, even though Wolves finished on top, they failed to score for a fourth league match out of five this season. Relive all the action below:

Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace was fairly predictable. Less so the game at the Etihad. Manchester City were held to a 0-0 draw by Southampton but that point is enough to take them up to second in the table.

Elsewhere Arsenal squeezed past Burnley 1-0 and Watford demolished Norwich 3-1 in a bottom of the table clash.

The Reds are the first side since Chelsea in 2009 to have had 100 shots on goal after four Premier League matches of a season.

But, a seventh Premier League home defeat of 2021 would equal the club record for a calendar year, set in 2012

13 mins: Traore continues to cause trouble on the left side for Wolves. He runs at Ajer again but this time the defender holds his ground and manages to block Traore’s attempted cross.

The corner is swung into the box but headed away by Brentford. It drops to Marcal who boots one from range but sends the effort wide of goal.

10 mins: Brentford score! Ajer drives the ball down the right wing before leaving it for Canos. He slips a through ball into the right side of the box where Bryan Mbeumo has made the run. He collects the ball and squares it to Toney who coolly slots the ball into the bottom corner. Then the offside flag goes up and replays show Mbeumo was miles offside so the goal doesn’t stand.

8 mins: Lovely work from Adama Traore. Saiss pushes high up the pitch and flicks the ball into space to the left of the box. Traore collects the loose ball and dinks past Kristoffer Ajey before following it into the box. He pulls it back to Raul Jimenez but Ivan Toney gets a block in and the attack dies down.

Brentford’s most recent top-flight away win was 2-1 at Leeds United in April 1947. It’s a long time wait for supporters, can the Bees get that victory today?

Brentford’s six goals in all competitions this season have been scored by six different players. Thomas Frank will be hoping that Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney can replicate their form from last season sooner rather than later.
