Thomas Frank would have been pleased to see Brentford stop a horrible rot of five successive defeats in their draw against Crystal Palace despite being the better side against the Eagles.
It was gritty and hard-fought and on another day, the Bees might have found a way to claim all three points. Frank also would have pleased with a clean sheet; Brentford's first in the league since beating Everton on November 28.
The back three, in particular, were superb dealing with Palace's attacking threat in Wilfried Zaha and Odsonne Edouard. David Raya didn't have much to do in the contest, but the Spaniard made a superb save to deny Joachim Anderson with virtually the last kick of the game with Jean Phillipe-Mateta almost pouncing.
