Brentford crush QPR in derby showdown

Brentford 3 QPR 0


Second-half goals from Neal Maupay, Said Benrahma and Sergi Canos gave Brentford a resounding victory in the derby at Griffin Park. 

Maupay scored with a penalty five minutes after the interval – his 23rd goal of the season.

Grant Hall was adjudged to have bundled over Benrahma as they chased Moses Odubajo’s ball over the top, and Maupay calmly steered his spot-kick beyond Joe Lumley.

Maupay set up the second for Benrahma, scored with 19 minutes remaining.

Again QPR were undone by a simple ball forward, with Maupay skipping past keeper Lumley before unselfishly teeing up Benrahma for a simple finish.

And in the final seconds, substitute Canos’ deflected strike capped a great day for the Bees, who were by far the better side,

Lumley produced two fine saves to keep Rangers in it before the second goal, denying Benrahma at point-blank range and pushing away Henrik Dalsgaard’s header.

  • Whats all this rubbish about getting back to basics then. Professional footballers should be well beyond that stage.

  • So far so good at half time. Memo to Brentford - "Must improve your security, or do we intend ground sharing?"
