Mathias Jensen has blamed 'big mistakes' for Brentford's heaviest ever Premier League defeat against Newcastle United on Saturday. The Bees succumbed to a 5-1 demolition at St James' Park as the Magpies bounced into the top six following back-to-back wins.
Bruno Guimaraes opened the scoring with an unerring header into the bottom corner, before David Raya presented Newcastle with a golden opportunity to score a second. His misplaced pass found Callum Wilson, who broke into the box to square for Jacob Murphy to double their advantage.
Despite Ivan Toney's second-half penalty, Brentford's individual errors became a constant theme throughout as Newcastle ruthlessly exploited them with a suffocating high press.
