Gomez scored in the 30th minute to end the visitors’ three-match run without a goal and Brentford captain Nathan Collins was at fault when Welbeck made it 2-0. History was made at Brentford with Milner given only his fifth start this season, but a wayward first pass was roundly cheered by Brentford fans. Mitoma sent another shot straight at Kelleher before Brentford responded with Jordan Henderson able to pick out Igor Thiago, who smashed off target. It momentarily lifted Brentford but Jensen could only head off target before Dango Ouattara flicked over from Thiago’s knock-down.
