Brentford fans saw that loss result in key players Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma who went to Aston Villa and West Ham United respectively.

Today against Swansea was a chance at redemption – a chance to bury old ghosts. Brentford more than took that chance.

Many saw this as a bruising encounter and rightly so against two very evenly-matched sides. As it was, Brentford jumped out to an early lead thanks to Ivan Toney’s 33rd goal of a season to remember:

This opener from the spot was followed up by a second Brentford goal from Emiliano Marcondes to put the Bees 2-0 up inside the first quarter:

There was even time in an action-packed opening half for Toney to narrowly miss what would have been a worldie:

"That would have been game over!" ❌

2-0 at half-time and against a side bristling with threat was always going to be a big ask for Swansea City in the second half.

However, they did come out with intent and attempted to make a fist of it but it was always going to be a difficult task. That task was made more difficult with Jay Fulton’s red card:

Jay Fulton loses his footing and catches Mathias Jensen's heel – Chris Kavanagh was adamant about his decision…was it the right one? 🤔

2-0 was the score that it stayed and Brentford gained their promotion to the Premier League on the back of that victory. It was a promotion celebrated by both the club and their fans on Twitter.
