Mbeumo surged onto Wissa's clever pass, entered the penalty area on the right and smashed in a ruthless 29th-minute finish for a side operating without England forward Toney amid speculation that he is about to be sold.
Speaking before the match, Brentford manager Thomas Frank said there are 'a lot of things going on' over the potential departure of Toney. Toney is out of contract in under 12 months and has been linked with a move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli.
Eberechi Eze had a sensational strike from a free-kick disallowed following a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) check because of a foul by Will Hughes. The referee has had a nightmare. It's a monumental mistake.
Palace made the brighter start and Eze had earlier gone close when the playmaker bent a free-kick around Brentford's defensive wall and narrowly wide.
