Brentford snatch late draw against Manchester United in dramatic fashion

Brentford manager Thomas Frank was left in disbelief as his side secured a late, dramatic draw against Manchester United in a thrilling Premier League encounter. The Bees hit the woodwork four times before Mason Mount put United ahead in the 96th minute, only for Kristoffer Ajer to equalize three minutes later.

Frank expressed his frustration at not securing all three points, stating, “There should have been only one winner in the game, that could only be us.” Despite the disappointment, he praised his players for their resilience and character in coming back to salvage a point.

The result leaves United in sixth place, facing an uphill battle to secure a Champions League spot. Manager Erik ten Hag admitted that Brentford had outplayed his side, showing more passion and determination. He was particularly disappointed with his team’s performance after their thrilling victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Ten Hag emphasized the need for his players to show more fight and aggression on the pitch, acknowledging that Brentford were more focused in the small details of the game. With an FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City on the horizon, United will need to regroup and show a stronger performance to keep their European hopes alive.

Overall, the match between Brentford and Manchester United showcased the unpredictability and excitement of the Premier League, with both teams giving their all in pursuit of victory. The draw leaves Brentford in 15th place, while United will need to step up their game in the remaining fixtures to secure a top-four finish.
