Newcastle United's meticulous backroom staff may well have one of the best set-piece takers in Europe at their disposal in Kieran Trippier.
But after hitting the target three times since his move from Atletico Madrid the England full-back had perhaps left teams a little too prepared for what was about to come next from set-pieces. Brentford had already been caught by surprise when Trippier rolled a free-kick sideways for Bruno Guimaraes to whip to the back post early on.
And on 21 minutes nobody was expecting the routine that followed as Miguel Almiron calmly rolled the ball to Trippier before a 100mph cross was directed to Bruno Guimaraes to head home! Newcastle coach Stephen Purchess usually works tirelessly on set-plays but even he could not take the credit away from colleague Jason Tindall after dreaming up the move that caught Brentford napping.
