PL reaction: Brentford 2 - 1 Watford

-

Let's have a look at all the reactions as Brentford scored two goals in the final 10 minutes to come from behind and deny Watford victory at the Community Stadium.

Brentford 2 - 1 Watford

Bryan Mbeumo slotted in a stoppage-time penalty to make it 2-1, minutes after captain Pontus Jansson had equalised with a header at the back post. Watford had been in the lead for an hour thanks to a header from Emmanuel Dennis.. A late surge from Brentford was eventually rewarded.

The defeat means Watford remain just three points above the relegation zone.

One Watford fan told us: "I am so annoyed, we were playing so well but we decided to sit back and that cost us in the end."

More reaction

Brentford's first goalscorer Pontus Jansson told Sky Sports: "It's not a good performance but we fought hard, we didn't give away a lot of chances so maybe a draw was a fair result, but we've been unlucky in the season and maybe luck was with us tonight."

The Brentford matchwinner Bryan Mbeumo added: "It feels so good because we worked hard. It wasn't the best performance but it was important to win. It feels so good."

This is how their official Twitter account responded.

Thoughts on Watford

One Watford fan replied to the above tweet: "Can’t put that on Ranieri tonight we had opportunities to put the game to bed and we didn’t and as alway Troost-Ekong should be nowhere near the team!"

BBC pundit Karen Carney added: "Watford were in control but backed off and weren't positive. That's a massive error here because you know they will become stronger. The two set-pieces have won them the game but they were just positive."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed.

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
