Brentford produced their best performance in the Premier League era to condemn a sorry looking Manchester United side to a humiliating 4-0 defeat at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Josh Dasilva started the party, profiting from a shocking goalkeeping moment from Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea.

Mathias Jensen then got rewarded for his aggressive pressing, robbing the ball off former Brentford midfielder Christian Eriksen, before sending it past De Gea for the second goal.

Ben Mee and Bryan Mbeumo added the third and four to seal a historic win that will remain fresh in the minds of fans, players and staff of Brentford for a long time to come.

All the goals came in the first 34 minutes of the game and even though Manchester United did improve in the second half, It was Brentford who were guilty of taking their foot off the pedal.

The Bees defied odds and enjoyed a remarkable first season in the Premier League, after being first on most pundits’ predictions to go straight back into the Championship.

But the performance against Manchester United is a statement of intent which shows that they are not only hanging on in the Premier League but hey are actually thriving and having the time of their lives.

The TV and papers will inevitably concentrate on United’s frailty but Brentford were excellent all game and deserved their time in the sun.
