Brentford FC 1 - 1 Crystal Palace FC

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

17:12

That's all from us, we hope you enjoyed the game! Until the next one though, it's goodbye for now.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

17:11

A point apiece in this end-to-end London derby means Brentford's unbeaten start to the season continues, and the Bees sit sixth with five points from three games ahead of their next game against Bournemouth. Palace have now won, lost and drawn one game each in 2023-24, and are 10th in the table prior to facing Wolves at Selhurst Park next up.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

17:09

Ayew was a constant threat in the final third for Palace, and laid on the back-heeled pass for Andersen's eventual equaliser. The Ghana forward managed five total shots, albeit with just one on target, and that assist for Andersen was one of three chances created. With the ball at his feet, Ayew contested a game-high 21 duels, winning 11, as well as engaging in seven dribbles and winning possession on five occasions. He also won four free-kicks, conceding three himself, in a game which despite having a fair few stoppages, left us out of breath just trying to keep up!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

17:05

It's all over in west London, with the spoils shared at the end of a fiercely contested game. Andersen's equaliser 14 minutes from time came following a plethora of chances for Palace, and from then on, the two sides traded in unsuccessful efforts to find a winner. Brentford couldn't follow up Schade's first-half screamer with another goal, although Janelt, Mbeumo and Onyeka all had the opportunity to do so. Palace meanwhile, forced a series of world-class saves from Flekken, with Edouard, Lerma and Ayew all denied to ensure the spoils were shared.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

17:00

FULL-TIME: BRENTFORD 1-1 CRYSTAL PALACE.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

17:00

Brentford launch one last attack as Mbeumo finds Hickey running through with an inside ball, but the full-back's shot sails beyond the side netting as the full-time whistle goes!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:58

BLOCKED!!! Mbeumo's reverse ball into the area is brought down skilfully by Onyeka, but his Guehi gets in the way of his half-volley to bail Palace out once again!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:57

CHANCE!!! Mbuemo barges his way forward before hooking a cross back from the byline. It bounces kindly for Henry on the edge of the box, but he takes a heavy touch and races after the ball. Ward gets in the way and takes the Bees left-back down, but the referee awards the hosts a corner rather than the penalty Henry was demanding!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:54

CHANCE!!! Ward's challenge on Janelt sends the ball back into the danger area, and Guehi has to race across to put the ball behind and prevent Lewis-Potter from going one-on-one with Johnstone!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:53

We'll play five additional minutes in west London, which at the pace we've seen this game played at, is more than enough for either side to find a late winner!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:53

BLOCKED!! The corner is cleared, but back come Palace as Ayew feeds Eze in the box. He shoots, but the packed Bees defence prevails and Henry gets the final touch to send the ball behind for another corner!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:52

WIDE!!! Nearly an own-goal for the ages from Brentford! Lerma's in-swinging cross from the left strikes Norgaard, whose attempted header clear skews back towards his own posts and bounces inches wide with Flekken beaten!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:49

Palace have won three of their six Premier League away matches since Roy Hodgson’s return to the club. From the first of those away games – a 5-1 demolition of Leeds in April – to now, only Liverpool (11) have more away Premier League points than Palace's 10.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:48

BLOCKED!!! A wild Brentford chance goes begging! Onyeka's cross from the right is met on the volley by Janelt, but his ambitious, acrobatic effort strikes Lewis-Potter and bounces behind for a goal kick!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:46

Another clash in the air involves Andersen, but this time the Palace defender is left on the turf following Lewis-Potter's challenge. He's soon back to his feet though, and has certainly put himself about in this game!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:45

CHANCE!!! Henry steps inside and sends Janelt down the left byline, but his cross is cut out and put behind by Lerma, arriving on the edge of the six-yard box from nowhere!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:44

Mateta and Pinnock both slide to get on the end of a throughball into Brenftord's box, and the Bees centre-back is left on the deck as the ball skews away from danger!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:43

WIDE!!! Andersen picks out Ayew with a brilliant lofted throughball, but the forward can't find the target as he brings the ball down and fires it across the face to no-one!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:42

While Ayew has attempted five shots in this game, his most in the Premier League since February 2020, and the five chances Andersen has created is his own record in the top-flight, their roles were reversed for Palace to lock the game up.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:37

Substitution Kevin Schade Keane William Lewis-Potter

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:36

BLOCKED!!! A woeful Ward touch allows Schade to race in behind the Palace captain and into the box. The goalscorer looks to cut the ball back across goal, but Ward recovers brilliantly to put it behind for a corner!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:34

Assist Jordan Pierre Ayew

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:34

Ayew cuts inside and hooks an inviting ball towards the back post. Mateta is the target, but the towering Palace substitute can't quite get there as the ball flies behind for a goal kick!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:30

WHAT A PAIR OF SAVES!!! From a Palace corner, Lerma's bullet header is somehow clawed off the line by Flekken, who then reacts brilliantly to block Ayew's close-range follow-up behind for another corner!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:30

Substitution Jeffrey Schlupp Naouirou Mohamed Ahamada

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:29

Substitution Mathias Jensen Ogochukwu Frank Onyeka

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:29

SAVED!!! Cat-like reactions from Flekken! Hard running from Ayew engages defenders aplenty and leads to a Palace free-kick, which is struck goalwards by Edouard and parried over the top by the Brentford 'keeper!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:27

CHANCE!! Mitchell floats a ball into the box which is brought down by Eze, however Collins nips in to knock the ball away just as the Palace playmaker was about to pull the trigger!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:25

It's been one hell of a battle between Ward and Schade so far, and the two get into another tangle on the touchline which results in a Palace free-kick.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:23

Brentford have lost just five of their 23 Premier League matches in 2023, winning 11, with Manchester City the only ever-present team to lose fewer this year so far (three).

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:21

Jensen eventually gets back to his feet and heads to the sideline for a concussion check, but at this stage it doesn't look likely that he'll be able to continue.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:20

Andersen and Jensen clash in mid-air as Palace attempt cross after cross into the hosts' box, and it's Jensen who has come off worse, with the Dane staying down and holding his head.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:17

Brentford have won each of the last three Premier League matches they've lead at half-time, last tasting defeat in April against Newcastle.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:16

Schlupp charges up the middle on the break for Palace, and again finds Eze in support. He cuts inside and looks to shoot early, but his effort skews well off-target and ends up closer to the corner flag than the goal itself!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:15

Palace transition from defence to attack brilliantly as Edouard and Eze combine, but the midfielder finds his way blocked by a plethora of Brentford defenders and he can't get a shot away before being dispossessed!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:12

BLOCKED!!! Ayew dribbles his way into a crowded Brentford box before shooting, but he's completely surrounded by red and white shirts and Henry's block sends the ball behind for a corner!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:11

Eze, Edouard and Mitchell link up nicely as Palace come forward at pace, but the latter's cross is poor and sails over the top of any intended targets!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:11

Wissa has stayed down following a clash of heads with Andersen, and the Brentford striker comes off for further assessment as play is halted by the referee.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:08

Mbeumo fires in the corner from the right with Henry arriving at the front post, but the Bees left-back can't keep his header down and behind it goes!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:07

Schlupp and Norgaard get into a tangle on the edge of Palace's box, with the free-kick going Brentford's way. The set-piece is eventually taken, with a pre-planned move not paying off as intended but still forcing a corner.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:05

The Bees race into an immediate attack to open the half, as Schade's darting run and cross from the byline sees the ball hooked clear by Mitchell!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:05

Janelt gets us back underway at the Gtech Community Stadium, with the second half off and running!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:04

We're back ahead of the second half, and can Brenftord make the most of their advantage to continue an unbeaten start to the season?

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

16:02

Schade's goal was right out of the top drawer, and the German striker was a problem for Palace throughout that first half. His sensational strike has just 0.05 xG behind it, while he's also managed five and seven final-third entries and passes respectively, as well as attempting two dribbles and three aerial duels. No Toney? No problem.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:57

A half high on intensity but low on final-third quality comes to an end, with the one piece of attacking prowess we've seen providing the difference at the break. Schade's wonderful opener saw him dance through Palace's defence before curling the ball home to score a goal worthy of winning any game. We've seen very little in the way of chances since though, with only Eze having a shot blocked on the break for Palace, and Wissa and Collins both missing with headers that would've put the home side firmly on top here.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:53

HALF-TIME: BRENTFORD 1-0 CRYSTAL PALACE.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:52

Mitchell's looping cross from the left is easily caught by Flekken, and that should be that for the first 45 minutes of this game.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:52

We're into a solitary minute of added time as this end-to-end first half draws to a close in west London.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:51

WIDE!!! Ward concedes a late corner, which is whipped into the centre at pace by Jensen. Collins is the target and the Ireland defender glances a bullet of a header towards the far corner, but can only watch as it flies wide of the post by mere inches!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:49

BLOCKED!! After a patient Palace attack is cut out, Wissa charges into open space with the ball at his feet. Reinforcements eventually arrives and the ball comes to Mbeumo, who cuts inside from the right and sees his low shot blocked and cleared by Mitchell!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:47

Norgaard flies in on Ayew at pace, catching the Ghanaian from behind and getting nowhere near the ball. The Bees captain was lucky to avoid a card there!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:45

Andersen fires successive passes into Brentford's area, but the first is too high for Edouard to control and the second sails over Mitchell's head to go behind for a goal kick.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:43

OVER!!! A glorious chance for the hosts to double their lead! The Brentford corner is swung in and flicked on by Schade at the front post. Wissa is unmarked at the back, but can't direct his header on target as it loops over the top!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:40

Guehi tries a cross-field pass to the right, but neither Ward nor Ayew is making the run he wanted and the ball sails over the sideline.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:39

Schade spreads play wide to Henry, whose cross from the left strikes the back of Lerma and goes behind for the game's first corner.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:38

Brentford have lost just one of their last 12 home league games against Crystal Palace, going down 3-0 on Christmas Day in 1957.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:38

The rain has certainly arrived now - a storm brewing for a while prior to kick-off finally hits, and it's big coats all round as the heavens open above the Gtech Community Stadium.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:36

From the free-kick, Palace clear and Eze threatens to race away on the break once more, but Collins retreats in time to pinch the ball back for Brenftord.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:35

Schade stays down following a clash with Ayew as play continues in Palace's half. Brenftord soon get the free-kick they were after though, as Wissa is clipped late by Doucoure.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:33

Palace have failed to any of their last three league matches after conceding the opening goal, dating back to an April victory over West Ham.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:32

BLOCKED!!! Eze is released on the counter for Palace and cuts inside both Collins and Norgaard on his way to the edge of the box. With Brentford seemingly at sixes and sevens, he shoots, but Henry is back there to block the effort away!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:29

WIDE!! Mitchell's hanging cross from the left is dealt with by the hosts, but Andersen returns serve from the opposite side. Ayew meets his cross with a glancing header towards the bottom corner, but Flekken can safely watch it bounce wide of the far post!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:26

Schade nets his first of the season with Brentford's first goal of 2023-24 NOT scored by Wissa or Mbeumo, and it's the 15th home game in a row that the Bees have breached their opponents' defence.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:21

A smart ball from Norgaard releases Mbeumo down the right, but the Bees forward's cross on the fly is too close to Johnstone and the Palace goalkeeper collects.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:20

Palace have won just four of their last 31 London derbies in the Premier League after losing 1-0 to Arsenal last time out. Only one of those wins has come away from home, against West Ham in November 2022.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:20

Assist Christian Thers Nørgaard

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:19

Goal Kevin Schade

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:17

A loose touch from Janelt in midfield allows Eze to race away with the ball before shooting, but the first attempt on goal we've seen so far is tame enough for Flekken to hold without breaking sweat.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:16

Crystal Palace are aiming to win their opening two away games in a top-flight campaign for just a third time, previously doing so in 1997-98 and 2015-16.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:15

Mitchell slides into challenges with both Norgaard and Hickey, coming away with the ball and releasing Edouard. He charges down the left edge and looks for Eze to his right, but overhits the final pass and the chance goes begging!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:14

CHANCE!!! Palace pile forward on the counter-attack as Eze glides his way through several challenges. He finds Ayew, who slips Edouard in behind the defence, but after stepping in and out of Pinnock's attempted tackle, the Brentford defender recovers to dispossess the striker in the box and Flekken can dive on the loose ball!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:12

Jensen floats the free-kick into the box early, looking to catch Palace out, but Guehi reads his intentions well and hooks the ball clear.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:12

Brentford keep possession well and the ball comes to Hickey on the right-hand side. He looks to cut inside Schlupp but is bowled over by the Palace winger, who concedes a free-kick in a good crossing position for the Bees.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:10

Brentford have won six of their last eight Premier League games, and have lost just one of the last 16 they've played at the Brentford Community Stadium.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:07

Andersen retreats with the ball after Wissa is caught offside, but the linesman takes a fair while to actually raise his flag and the Brentford striker almost escapes through on goal!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:04

All four Premier League meetings between Brentford and Crystal Palace have ended in draws – no pair of teams have ever drawn their first five consecutive meetings in the competition’s history.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:03

Edouard gets proceedings underway for Palace, kicking off the latest of several London derbies so far this season!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

15:02

'Hey Jude' rings around west London as the teams enter the pitch, and we're ready and raring to go ahead of kick-off here!

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

14:54

Palace’s side is also unchanged for the third game running. After so very nearly taking a point off Arsenal at Selhurst Park, Roy Hodgson is clearly looking to develop the combinations for success in his team – many of which are built around Eberechi Eze, who starts in his usual number 10 position despite transfer interest from Manchester City.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

14:50

Brentford name an unchanged XI following their impressive 3-0 win over Fulham, with Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo, who scored the opener and a second-half brace respectively last time out, leading the line alongside Kevin Schade for Thomas Frank’s side here.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

14:46

CRYSTAL PALACE SUBS: Remi Matthews, James Tomkins, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Nathaniel Clyne, Chris Richards, Naouirou Ahamada, John-Kymani Gordon, Jairo Riedewald, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

14:46

CRYSTAL PALACE (4-2-3-1): Sam Johnstone; Joel Ward, Joachim Andersen, Marc Guehi, Tyrick Mitchell; Jefferson Lerma, Cheick Doucoure; Jordan Ayew, Eberechi Eze, Jeffrey Schlupp; Odsonne Edouard.

14:46

BRENTFORD SUBS: Ellery Balcombe, Zanka Jorgensen, Frank Onyeka, Kristoffer Ajer, Keane Lewis-Potter, Mads Roerslev, Yehor Karmolyuk, Michael Olakigbe, Ethan Brierley.

BRENTFORD (4-3-3): Mark Flekken; Aaron Hickey, Nathan Collins, Ethan Pinnock, Rico Henry; Mathias Jensen, Christian Norgaard, Vitaly Janelt; Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa, Kevin Schade.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

14:42

A deserved 1-0 defeat of Sheffield United gave Palace a perfect start to the season, however the Eagles’ first home game saw them lose by the same scoreline to a 10-man Arsenal side, who survived a barrage of late pressure to escape Selhurst Park with all three points. Roy Hodgson’s men will look to get back to winning ways in this game though, having drawn both meetings with Brentford 1-1 last season.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace

14:38

A strong start to the season has seen Brentford pick up four points, drawing 2-2 with Spurs on the opening day before thumping neighbours Fulham 3-0 at Craven Cottage. A third successive inter-city derby for the fourth-placed Bees gives them the chance to continue that impressive run, with the absence of Ivan Toney doing little to dent their free-scoring attack.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace
