Jonathan Wilson’s match report has landed. And like all the best match reports, the opening sentence includes the word ‘dismal’.
That’s all from me – thanks for your company, goodnight.
Honours – and emotions – are even at the Gtech Community Stadium. Both teams will be annoyed they didn’t win; both will be relieved they didn’t lose. Brentford battered Man Utd throughout and hit the woodwork four times, but they were facing a miserable defeat when the substitute Mason Mount scored a classy goal, his first for United, in the 96th minute.
Kristoffer Ajer ensured Brentford got at least one point, equalising in the 99th minute after superb play from the relentless Ivan Toney. It moves them five points clear of the relegation places, and the performance will give them huge encouragement for the last eight games. I’ll be pretty surprised if they don’t stay up.
