Brentford 3-1 Barnet in FA Cup fourth-round replay

Championship side Brentford beat non-league Barnet to set up an FA Cup fifth-round tie at Swansea City.

Sergi Canos scored following a well-worked corner routine, before Julian Jeanvier doubled the lead with a fine volley from Said Benrahma's free-kick.

Barnet's Craig Robson headed against the crossbar and Neal Maupay added a third goal with a side-footed finish.

David Tutonda pulled one back for Barnet, but it was not enough for the lowest-ranked team in the competition.

Darren Currie's side, 17th in the National League, had knocked out Championship Sheffield United in the third round and had been 2-1 ahead in the original tie against Brentford before it finished 3-3 and went to a replay.

But Barnet fell behind after seven minutes at Griffin Park from a short corner as Benrahma's low cross was converted by Canos for his third goal in as many games.

Moses Odubajo and Benrahma shot just wide and Maupay had an effort cleared off the line, before Jeanvier did well to steer Behrahma's free-kick into the roof of the net to give Brentford a two-goal advantage.

The hosts had further chances, but Canos glanced a header just off target, Maupay had two shots saved by Mark Cousins and Romaine Sawyers shot wastefully wide.

Barnet's Robson headed against the woodwork following Daniel Sparkes' free-kick and Ephron Mason-Clark had a low strike saved by Luke Daniels.

But Maupay grabbed Brentford's third, finishing off from Henrik Dalsgaard's cross, although Tutonda's fine strike gave the non-league side a deserved goal.

Swansea play Brentford at the Liberty Stadium in round five on Saturday, 16 February.

'Immensely proud' - what they said

Brentford boss Thomas Frank said: "Job done. We're through to the next round and pleased with that.

"When you see Newport beating Middlesbrough it proves it's not easy in this tournament. The first half was professional, the second half was so-so, but we did what we needed to do.

"Now we look forward to Swansea. We are one game from the quarter-finals. It's 30 years since we have been in one so we would like to do it again."

Barnet boss Darren Currie said: "In the second half I thought we were excellent. It was a nice response from our chat at half-time, I was frustrated in the first half.

"In the second half we earned the respect of our opponents. If we'd got our goal at 2-0 it might have been a different story. I'm immensely proud of how we conducted ourselves in the second half.

"They are disappointed, they felt like they let the first half slip away. But they'll realise they have a lot to be proud of."
