Crystal Palace 1-2 Brentford: Bryan Mbeumo, Kevin Schade earn ...

Brentford marked Thomas Frank's 300th game in charge with a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace in wet and windy conditions at Selhurst Park on Super Sunday.

Bryan Mbeumo's penalty - retaken after a VAR review confirmed Marc Guehi's encroachment in the penalty area - put the Bees in front, and Kevin Schade doubled the lead, though a late goal from Palace debutant Romain Esse made for a tense finale.

Five of the seven Premier League meetings between the teams had ended level, and there was little in the first half to suggest that would not be the case once again.

Mark Flekken produced a strong right hand to keep out a fierce strike from Jean-Philippe Mateta inside 10 minutes, while at the other end, Yoane Wissa's low effort was tipped around the post by Dean Henderson and Mbeumo's free-kick whistled inches past the post.

Chances came at a premium, as illustrated by the combined Expected Goals total of 0.4 at the break - 0.2 xG each.

But it sparked into life around the hour. Eze's free-kick took a wicked deflection and hit the right-hand post with Flekken stranded, before the visitors were awarded a penalty when Will Hughes handled and Nathan Collins was brought down by Maxence Lacroix.

Mbeumo struck the post, to the delight of the hosts, but, after a VAR review, it was determined that Guehi had encroached in the penalty area and the Cameroon international would get a second chance - which he duly took.

The second goal Brentford needed came after 80 minutes, when the irrepressible Mikkel Damsgaard - who signed a new deal until 2030 earlier this week - planted a peach of a cross onto the head of Schade, who headed home.

Esse then scored with his first touch, just 119 seconds after entering the pitch, which set up a tense finale with nine minutes added on, but unfortunately for Palace it could not spark the goal they needed to force a point.

Redknapp analyses penalty drama...

Brentford could have been awarded two penalties in the same move after Hughes blocked Guehi's clearance with both his hands. The loose ball then fell to Collins, who was felled by Lacroix for a stonewall penalty.

Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp: "Look at the mess Crystal Palace get themselves into, they can't clear the ball. Hughes, this is definitely a handball there so VAR would have intervened. And then Lacroix just gets it wrong. Collins nips in front of him and it's enough for a penalty. Collins puts his leg in and Lacroix, who was already booked, is lucky it's not a second yellow."

Mbeumo steps up to take the penalty and hits the post. Guehi then denies Mbeumo a chance at the rebound. VAR spots that Guehi stood in the 'D' at the moment Mbeumo took the penalty so was encroaching. That meant the penalty had to be retaken.

Redknapp: "He just comes into the 'D'. You're then interfering when you then come into play. If VAR checked it on every penalty that was missed, we would see that a lot. But Guehi really does make an impact because he just nips in front of Mbeumo."

Mbeumo then gets a second chance from the spot. Before the penalty is taken, both Wissa and Keane Lewis-Potter are seen celebrating the upcoming goal even while Mbeumo is doing his run-up.

Redknapp: "I've never seen anything like that in my life! Wissa is obviously trying to fool the 'keeper and you can even see Lewis-Potter doing the same thing. That's like a distraction thing to maybe put off the goalkeeper. I've never seen that in my life, it's crazy!"

Glasner: It wasn't a great game

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner to Sky Sports:

"I think it was game where both teams neutralised each other, with not as many chances as you would like. And it was whoever made the first mistake loses the game. We were that team unfortunately because of how the penalty happened.

On Brentford's first goal: "We had the ball four times and gave it away. It's in our own box and we can't clear the ball, then it's a penalty. It's unlucky with VAR then intervening to give them a second chance. This situation decided the game.

"We were fighting back for the 2-2 looking for one more situation. They were very efficient today. We never had really pressure or made pressure and I can't explain it. It wasn't a great game from both sides and that's why we lost."

On Brentford's penalty being re-taken: We have to accept it. I watched it and Marc was in [the D]. IT makes it unlucky because when it hits the post so if Mbeumo touches the ball, it's a free-kick for us. And Marc was half a yard and one yard inside and he was five inches in front of Mbeumo. In those four or five minutes, everything went against us. Then we were 1-0 down.

Frank: We gave almost nothing away - it's a fair win

Brentford head coach Thomas Frank in his post-match press conference:

"Big three points. I said to the players before the game or during the week that no one game is defining for a season unless you've been in a play-off final - we did that twice, that's pretty defining - but I just knew we were coming here to Selhurst Park, very difficult to play here against a very good team that I like and admire a lot and in unbelievably difficult circumstances.

"Every game, the foundation from the team and the players needs to be character and mentality, then of course there's the tactical and technical and good players and all that, but the mentality and the character of the team was brilliant.

"I thought we played the conditions right; we went behind enough when we should and could, and I thought we defended brilliantly. Except their goal, I think we gave more or less nothing away against a very tricky and good front three. Pleased with a good, solid away performance where I think it's a fair win in the end.

"I knew - with all due respect to Southampton - this would be much more difficult [than the last away game]. It's a Crystal Palace team that had lost two in the last 13 or something like that, both against Arsenal.

"They played some top games and made it very difficult for a lot of opponents, so I like them a lot. They are someone we should look towards, because what they have achieved over the last 10, 12 years is quite remarkable."
