Brentford finally secured their long awaited promotion to the Premier League after they swept aside Swansea in the Championship play-off final with a 2-0 win at Wembley on Saturday.
The Bees flew out of the traps and were ahead with just ten minutes on the clock. Bryan Mbeumo did brilliantly to nip ahead of Freddie Woodman before the Swansea goalkeeper brought him down, allowing Ivan Toney (who else) to slot home the resulting penalty.
A flowing counter and a cool finish?
Just ten minutes later Brentford had doubled their lead, with Mads Roerslev doing brilliantly to pick out the run of Emiliano Marcondes before the Danish midfielder slotted home, with Toney almost putting the game to bed a minute later as his superb volley bounced off the underside of the crossbar.
