Once again inspired by Christian Eriksen, Brentford are almost gracefully gliding to safe, Premier League shores of contentment. In fact, this was almost a complete performance, according to Thomas Frank, for the second week in succession.
Another season in the top tier was virtually guaranteed by the seismic, generation-spanning, 4-1 win at Chelsea last weekend, ensuring that in the dizziest thoughts of their flightiest fans, the Bees are now unofficial world champions. The afterglow of another London derby triumph, here against disappointing West Ham, a team tilting at the Europa League, was fully deserved. Brentford visit relegation-haunted Watford on Saturday in 13th place and in a good mood.
