It ends 2-1 for Brenford, who wins at Selhurst part for the first time. The first half saw very little from an attacking standpoint, but the second 45 came to life. A pair of goals 15 minutes apart did the damage for the guests, who held on despite an Esse goal towards the end. It was a contrast halves in the end, and the Bees can celebrate. They finish with an xG of 1.68 to Palace's 1.09. Brentford also holds onto 11th spot, creating a gap of four points over Palace as well.

Mbeumo hits the post there. The ball is headed towards him in the box, but he heads the ball straight onto the post, albeit from short range. Palace survive a scare there.
