Brentford come out on top in a thrilling game at Vicarage Road that Watford should have won after Louza had a great chance in stoppage time. However, the visitors went up the other end and Jansson scored the winner in the 95th-minute to nick all three points. The Bees led 1-0 at the break through Norgaard, but Dennis equalised for Watford on 55 minutes, with VAR overturning the initial offside decision. The hosts piled on the pressure on their opponents in search of a winner, but couldn't find one and Brentford made it 2-1 to make it three wins on the bounce.

HUGE CHANCE! HOW DID HE NOT SCORE? There is a big scramble inside the box as Brentford fail to clear the danger and it falls to King, who fires a shot towards the near post, but it cannons off the woodwork and then falls straight to the feet of Louza, who had an open goal to aim at. However, he can't sort his feet out quickly enough and his effort flies wide. That should have gone in!

Good move! Cleverley does really well down the right and sneaks into the box, gets to the byline and tries to find King in the middle. However, his cross is well blocked.
