    GOAL - Brentford 2-1 Watford

    Bryan Mbeumo

    Cool. As. A. Cucumber!

    Bryan Mbeumo had to wait what felt like an age to take the penalty, Watford keeper Daniel Bachmann doing his best to put him off too.

  2. PENALTY TO BRENTFORD

    Brentford 1-1 Watford

    SCENES! Brentford have won a penalty. To win it! Silly, silly challenge from William Troost-Ekong on Bees sub Saman Ghoddos. So rash, so needless.

  3. Brentford 1-1 Watford

    Still time for Brentford. Leeds scored against them later than this...

  4. Brentford 1-1 Watford

    Wasted. Ball humped long.

  5. Brentford 1-1 Watford

    Oooh, Brentford have a free-kick in a dangerous position on the left. These set-pieces have been causing problems for Watford. Nerves will be jangling...

  6. Brentford 1-1 Watford

    How much stoppage time? The fourth official strolls to the touchline... five minutes. A huge roar goes up from the Brentford fans...

  7. SUBSTITUTION

    Brentford 1-1 Watford

    Claudio Ranieri said before kick-off that his side must get a point. He's aiming to achieve that by bringing on Ozan Tufan for the final stages. Off goes Emmanuel Dennis.

  8. Brentford 1-1 Watford

    Watford rocking now. Could be a long few minutes for the visitors...

  9. Brentford 1-1 Watford

    Karen Carney
    Former Chelsea midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    There was an altercation on the goalline so just making sure nothing went on here...

  10. goal

    GOAL STANDS - Brentford 1-1 Watford

    Pontus Jansson

    Jansson is the calmest-looking person in the house. Judging by his expression there is nothing wrong with this - and he's right.

  11. VAR

    Video Assistant Referee

    Brentford 1-1 Watford

    Or have they? You know who has pressed pause and then rewind...

    Watford keeper Daniel Bachmann was hurt in the melee there, was it a foul on him? Doesn't look like it.

    Could Jansson have been offside from Charlie Goode's flick-on? Hmmm. It'd be marginal.

  12. goal

    GOAL - Brentford 1-1 Watford

    Pontus Jansson

    Brentford have got the equaliser! Watford can't clear the corner properly, a cross is swung in from the right and Pontus Jansson is alert to head in.

  13. Brentford 0-1 Watford

    Close! A cross from the left is half-cleared to Frank Onyeka, whose shot is deflected by the head of Ken Sema. Corner...

  14. Brentford 0-1 Watford

    Tight and tense this one. Anything could still happen.

  15. Brentford 0-1 Watford

    Frustrations starting to bubble for Brentford. After Watford's Joshua King outmuscles Christian Nørgaard, Bees defender Charlie Goode slides in and earns a booking for his trouble.

    Seemed a firm but fair tackle to me. Michael Oliver's opinion is more important, though.

    The home fans tells the referee that he, ahem, doesn't know what he is doing.

  16. Brentford 0-1 Watford

    Karen Carney
    Former Chelsea midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    You have to applaud Watford for their defending. They have made it difficult. There has been a lack of quality from Brentford in that final third but Watford have still had to defend well.

  17. Brentford 0-1 Watford

    It's still fast, it's furious. Watford still look relatively compact as Brentford patiently look for a way through the lines.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Brentford 0-1 Watford

    Watford bring on Ken Sema for Cucho Hernández as Claudio Ranieri aims to tighten things up.

    Brentford take off left-back Rico Henry and introduce Frank Onyeka.

    Less than 15 to go...

  19. Brentford 0-1 Watford

    More tactical tweaks on the cards...

  20. Brentford 0-1 Watford

    Ohhhh Joshua King! This could have sealed it. The Watford forward finds himself in space on the left, but can only find the gloves of Alvaro Fernandez as he goes for placement rather than power.

    Brentford survive...
