Brentford head coach Keith Andrew described his players as 'relentless' as they conjured up a superb second-half performance to come back from a goal down to beat Newcastle United 3-1.
Things did not go plan at the break as Harvey Barnes' 27th minute goal looked set to give Newcastle their first away league win of the season.

However, a Igor Thiago double along with Kevin Schade's header completed the turnaround as Brentford made it back-to-back league wins at home.
The win saw the Bees go 12th in the table and remarkably just three points off the top four going in to the international break.
Speaking after the game, Andrews spoke of his delight in how Brentford managed to overturn the deficit despite having plenty of contentious decisions go against them.
"I think there's definitely a sense of certain things not going for us and I think sometimes you can use that as an excuse to not perform and let it get the better of you. I've been in that position obviously on the pitch, I don't think I always dealt with it particularly well on the pitch.
"I try and deal with that off the pitch. I think our players actually deal with it really, really well. They stuck at it, they stuck to the tasks. They were relentless really in terms of getting back level and then going for the winning goals."
Michael Kayode made the headlines once again as his impressive armoury led the way in helping Brentford come from behind. Whilst Andrews admitted he hasn't seen a throw-in taker like the right-back, he was quick to praise the Italian's overall game.
"Probably not \[seen a better throw-in taker\]. I certainly haven't worked with one as good. He's pretty sparse. I think he gets a lot of headlines clearly for that. I think if you take that away, he's still a fantastic footballer. The way he approaches the game, the way he likes to defend, he has real pride in that.
The constant development in his game, really keen to learn on a day-to-day, week-to-week basis, which ties into what we do with the club."
