Brentford shine again at home to climb up table

Last weekend's 2-1 defeat by Brighton after spurning an early lead summed up a recurring problem for Brentford.

Keith Andrews' side had dropped 11 points from winning positions this Premier League season - more than any other team.

This contest against a struggling Burnley at the Gtech Community Stadium, where they have managed four of their five wins, was a perfect chance to set things right.

But after the Clarets equalised soon after Igor Thiago's 81st-minute opener from the penalty, it felt like the story was about to repeat for the Bees.

However, a second from Thiago that took his goals tally to 11 for the season and another from Dango Ouattara in the added time seal the 3-1 win at the end of a game in which they dominated possession and chances.

Andrews' side registered 14 attempts of which four were on target to generate an expected goals (xG) of 2.75, compared to Burnley's two on target from six attempts.

The result means Burnley have now won five games at home - with only Manchester City winning more home games (six) - and scored15 times on home soil - only City (19) and Arsenal (16) having scored more.

With a trip to the Emirates Stadium to face the league leaders coming up next, the confidence-boosting win could not have come at a better moment for the buzzing Bees.
