Marcus Rashford scored the only goal of the game after 27 minutes to secure a much-needed victory for the Reds, lifting them above Tottenham Hotspur and back into the top four. They were the dominant side for long spells of the contest and ought to have won by a bigger margin.

United, particularly in the first half, toyed with Brentford, bossing proceedings by dragging them one way and then another.
