John Brewin"s match report That’s all for today. I’ll leave you with John Brewin’s match report from the Gtech. I can’t just call it ‘the Gtech’, can I? It’s hardly the Maracanã. I’ll leave you with John Brewin’s match report from the Gtech Community Stadium. Goodnight! Burnley v Man Utd kicks off at 8pm. The great Tim de Lisle – who made me want to be a sports journalist, and who then taught me how to be one – is covering that game. The updated Premier League table Full time: Brentford 1-3 Everton Peep peep! Everton leap out of the relegation zone with a fine win at Brentford, their first of the Premier League season. Abdoulaye Doucoure, James Tarkowski and the substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored the goals, with James Garner and Beto also impressing. We shouldn’t get carried away, but that’s a big result for a team that has been the subject of almost ceaseless negativity since the start of the season. 90+5 min Since the start of last season, and before today, Brentford had lost only two of their 22 league games at home. In short, this is a great result for Everton. 90+3 min “I’m surprised we haven’t heard from Mary Waltz,” says Joe Pearson. “Do we know if she’s OK?” She’s probably in shock. 90+2 min This one’s for the Everton fans. 90 min Six minutes of added time. Branthwaite is booked for a foul on Onyeka. 89 min: Brentford substitution Michael Olakigbe replaces Keane Lewis-Potter. 89 min Garner’s corner is headed over by the backpedalling Tarkowski. 88 min “While I don’t think Brentford will be in serious trouble this season as there are definitely worse teams, it does already feel like they have peaked,” says Kevin Wilson . “Not just with Ivan Toney. Most of the big money signings since promotion have failed and the dropped points at home against similar level opposition don’t bode well at all. I reckon it will be a significant decline on last season and they will be in the bottom third.” I’d probably agree with that, although they do have an excellent record against the bigger teams so maybe we need to reserve judgement. But they will go down one of these years; what they have achieved is pretty astonishing, and therefore unsustainable. 87 min You can’t always trust stats – you should see some of the Euro 80 numbers! – but they tell a fair story today. Everton have had 17 shots to Brentford’s 11, and six on target to Brentford’s two. They deserve to win. 86 min Danjuma is very well tackled on the edge of the D by Norgaard. Brentford don’t look like getting back into this. 84 min All good teams have off days, apart from Manchester City, and this is Brentford’s. But the poverty of their performance shouldn’t overshadow a terrific win for Everton. It’s probably not a coincidence that plenty of their best results under Sean Dyche have been away from home, such is the understandable negativity at Goodison these days. If they can find a bit of stability, then make Goodison Park a thoroughly unpleasant place to visit, they will be fine. 82 min Ghoddos is booked for deliberately tripping Young. 81 min “Remind me, who sold James Garner?” asks Rob Hisnay. “Meanwhile, Manchester United’s back 4 today vs. Burnley is: Dalot-Evans-Lindelof-Reguilon, with Onana in goal!” It’s a nice burn, but there are two peedie problems: Garner’s a midfielder, and Erik ten Hag’s preferred back four are all injured. 80 min Ghoddos’s very deep cross is volleyed straight at Pickford by Mbeumo. A quarter-chance. 79 min “As much as I would like to see the two strikers play together, you are 100 per cent correct - Doucoure has to stay on the pitch,” says Brad Wilson. “It was Frank Lampard’s greatest fault that he didn’t play him. Doucoure tracks back, hustles every minute, and can finish -- as we have seen so critically. The question becomes when Jack Harrison is fit ... he has to play, right? I think so.” I’d imagine it will be Harrison left, McNeil right. With the quality of their service it’s even more tempting to play two strikers, but I suspect that will mainly happen when they are chasing games at home. 78 min “Garner (Rockford or Maverick, you choose) has been magnificent all match,” writes Joe Pearson. “That steal to set up the DCL goal was the feather in the cap.” 77 min: Everton substitution Arnaut Danjuma replaces Amadou Onana, so Garner will move into midfield. 77 min Mbeumo is booked for a foul on McNeil, who has a really good second half. 76 min If it stays like this Everton will move up to 16th, a point behind Chelsea and two behind Manchester United. They have Luton at home next weekend. 75 min Pickford miskicks a clearance straight to a Brentford player 35 yards out – but the referee Michael Oliver inadvertently makes a vital interception. That would have been a half-chance because Pickford was out of his goal. 74 min A word on James Garner, who has been very good today. That was such a good pass for the goal, vaguely reminiscent of Eric Cantona the way he suddenly stabbed it with no backlift. 73 min: Brentford substitution Saman Ghoddos replaces Aaron Hickey. Everton deserve this for their second-half dominance. Nathan Collins was robbed by James Garner, who moved forward and poked a gorgeous pass through to Calvert-Lewin. He opened his body to sidefoot a low shot that hit the leg of Flekken and ricocheted slowly into the net. GOAL! Brentford 1-3 Everton (Calvert-Lewin 71) The ball didn’t evade Calvert-Lewin this time! 71 min Pickford’s long pass, and it was a pass, just evades Calvert-Lewin and runs through to Flekken. 70 min “Beto’s end product might need more work than Evertonians would like considering his price tag, but he does so many other things well and his commitment is impressive,” says Eric Peterson. “I, for one, think a top-two pairing of him and Dominic Calvert-Lewin has the potential to be not just productive but sublime.” Sublime isn’t necessarily the word I’d use but I agree they could be very effective, particularly at Goodison. The problem is that would probably mean leaving out Doucoure, who has become a key player. 69 min: Chance for Brentford! A free-kick from the right leads to an almighty scramble in the six-yard box. At least one shot was desperately blocked on the line, and eventually the ball was smuggled behind for a corner. 68 min Tarkowski, who has been booed today because of the way he left Brentford, put his fingers over his ears when he scored and then ran off in celebration. Balls to that ostentatious non-celebration nonsense! It came from a corner on the right. McNeil’s curled a superb ball into the six-yard box, where Tarkowski bullied his man (possibly Jensen) and planted a simple header into the net. GOAL! Brentford 1-2 Everton (Tarkowski 67) James Tarkowski scores against his old club! 65 min Brentford haven’t had a touch in the opposition area since half-time. Everton have had five.
