Match review

Brentford beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in a Premier League match at Brentford's home stadium. The game was action-packed and controversial.

Brentford opened the scoring in the 29th minute when Bryan Mbemo scored the opener. However, Crystal Palace equalised early in the second half through an own goal from Ethan Pinnock. A key moment came when Eberechi Eze's goal was disallowed due to a foul, which left the Palace manager angry.

Brentford's winner came from Yoan Wissa in the 76th minute after a poor save by Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson. Despite Crystal Palace dominating the game at certain points, Brentford held on to win.

The game also featured the absence of Brentford's key striker Ivan Toney, further increasing the tension ahead of his possible departure from the club.

The win gave Brentford three vital points from their opening game of the season.
