Thomas Frank was sent off after the final whistle in what was a dramatic afternoon at the Brentford Community Stadium as the home side fell to a defeat against Wolves.

Joao Moutinho and Ruben Neves scored either side of Ivan Toney in a second-half that kicked off late after play was stopped in the opening forty-five minutes due to a drone flying above the ground.

Portugal international Neves struck in the 78th minute, firing home from 20 yards out following a brilliant team effort as the visitors fought back after Moutinho’s opener was cancelled out by Brentford’s Ivan Toney.

Moutinho scored in the 48th minute after he played a clever one-two with Nelson Semedo on the edge of the box before smashing the ball into the bottom corner with the outside of his foot.

Brentford responded in the 71st minute with Toney firing in a volley from Bryan Mbeumo’s free-kick, but they could not find any more goals and slumped to their fourth successive league defeat.
