Brentford player ratings vs Newcastle as Christian Eriksen returns but Bees struggle

David Raya

Made some incredible saves to keep the scoreline respectable. 7

Kristoffer Ajer

Was beaten far too easily in the air for Joelinton's opener. 5

Pontus Jansson

Did well in defence playing in a four, but was ultimately caught for both goals. 5

Ethan Pinnock

Likewise as Jansson, didn't do too badly but should have done better to prevent both goals. 5

Rico Henry

Had a battle on his hands with Jacob Murphy, but was a key performer in defence. 7

Josh Dasilva

Sent off very early for a challenge on Matt Targett. N/A

Christian Norgaard

Solid as always and got stuck in. 6

Vitaly Janelt

Like Norgaard, got stuck in and almost pulled a consolation back only for Dubravka an immovable object. 6

Mathias Jensen

Tried to get things going in midfield, but to no avail. 6

Bryan Mbeumo

Close but no goalscoring cigar for the Frenchman. 6

Yoane Wissa

Doesn't seem to be working up-front, although it is not his natural position. 6

Subs:

Christian Eriksen

It was great to see the Dane back on a football pitch. He brought calmness and composure to Brentford's play, which Thomas Frank would have been pleased with on another awful afternoon. 6

Ivan Toney

Linked up well with Eriksen and Mbeumo, but unable to get the goal Brentford so desperately needed. 6

Sergi Canos

Didn't offer anything going forward. 5
