    Screeeeeamer!

    Welcome back Timothy Castagne who marks his first appearance of 2022 without an unstoppable finish into the top corner.

    He shows great technique to curl it beyond David Raya from about 20 yards after being teed-up by Harvey Barnes.

    Replays suggest Mbeumo might have been fouled. But there were no appeals for a penalty by Brentford and VAR has not got involved.

    Play is stopped after Pontus Jansson and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall collide deep inside Brentford's half. They're both down on the ground but both are going to be fine to continue.

    First shot in anger from James Maddison about 20 yards out. It doesn't trouble the keeper but Brendan Rodgers will be pleased with this bright start after Thursday's trip to France.

    Brentford boss Thomas Frank on his side's two-match winning run: "We know results are nice, but they need to be backed by the performances, so our consistency in producing good performances gives us something to believe in.

    "The more free-flowing you can play, without thinking about the consequences, the better you will play.

    "The last two games were close games, which is natural because the wins mean a lot.

    "In general, we have been reinforcing that we need to be brave, be cool, and be aggressive. The more we can enforce that on the training pitch, the better."
