Brentford 2-0 Man Utd
United are a shambles. Erik ten Hag reacted to that second goal by shaking his head. Brentford fans are now teasing the Dutchman by singing 'Sacked in the morning, you're getting sacked in the morning'.

An absolute disaster for Manchester United!
David de Gea tries to play it out from the back but Brentford are swarming all over their opponents with the high press.
They lose possession and Mathias Jensen, who moments earlier fired narrowly over a free-kick, tucks home.

United are rattled. Brentford continue to take the game to their opponents and Harry Maguire concedes a needless free-kick on the edge of his box. He gets a yellow for it as well. Another chance for Brentford.

Josh Dasilva has endured lots of injury problems in recent times but that's two in two games for the Brentford player.
The Bees are swarming all over United and the home fans are loving it.

Josh Dasilva
Taxi for David de Gea!
The Manchester United keeper allows a fairly routine attempt by Josh Dasilva to slip past him and into the net.
It's the worst possible start for United and Brentford's tails are up.

Free-kick to Brentford as Luke Shaw and Aaron Hickey collide. The referee decides the United player was late. Now Ronaldo has conceded a free-kick inside his own half. A scrappy start by United.

A busy start by Ronaldo. He's about 25 yards when he decides to have a pop. It bounces in front of David Raya but it's comfortable for the keeper.
