    It was a brilliant performance by Brentford and the 2-0 scoreline flatters the visitors.

    It could have been four or five.

    There was a little spell when Wednesday were on top and Daniel Bentley had to make a save, but other than that it was comfortable.

    Olws keeper Cameron Dawson needs to make another save to keep out a shot from Said Benrahma at the death.

    Brentford waste a chance to make it 3-0 at the death.

    A great flick from Alan Judge sets up a one-on-one for Neal Maupay.

    But the Frenchman can't take advantage.

    The pace has dropped a bit as everybody is fatigued. Perhaps the heat has got to them a bit.

    The whole pace and tempo has slowed and that will suit Brentford. They will look to manage the game now.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 84 mins

    The Bees are trying to keep onto the ball in a bid to take the sting out of any Wednesday comeback.

    Final change for Wednesday.

    Matt Penney comes on for Daniel Pudil, who has picked up a knock.

    Sunderland cruising to victory at the Stadium of Light with just over five minutes to play.

    Josh Maja misses a good chance to add to his earlier goal as he fires wide.

    The Black Cats will be ending the day in fourth while it's going to be a first league defeat of the season for Scunthorpe.

    There has been some wonderful one and two-touch football from Brentford to move the ball and get in behind the defence.

    It is a continental style of play.

    It is difficult for the Wednesday to stop.

    Bees forward Ollie Watkins looks to add to his tally after cutting in from the left, but sends his effort off target.

    He had Said Benrahma up in support and should have added a third for the hosts there.

    Brentford seem like they have stepped on again physically.

    Wedensday can't seem to get out of their half and seem to have run out of ideas.

    They may start to go long.
