Vibe strike earns Bees a point

Blackburn 1 Brentford 1

Lasse Vibe’s first-half strike was enough to earn Brentford a point from a scrappy match.

Vibe put the Bees ahead with a clever chipped finish but Tom Lawrence levelled for Blackburn by the interval to ensure the points were shared.

Vibe opened the scoring after running through and lifting the ball over keeper Jason Steele and he had chance to make it 2-0 but shot just wide.

Rovers quickly equalised when Lawrence fired home a fine shot from long range after great work by Craig Conway.

Neither side looked like finding a winner for much of a dour second half, lacking both excitement and noteworthy goalmouth incident.

But in the closing stages Bees keeper David Button made a great save to deny Ben Marshall and secure a point.

Brentford: Button; Yennaris, Tarkowski, Dean, Bidwell; Woods (Canos 89), McCormack, Diagouraga, Swift (Saunders 72); Vibe, Djuricin (Kerschbaumer 23).
Subs not used: Bonham, Hofmann, O’Connell, Gogia.
