"It's a special group. I said that from day one and it came from a very genuine place and how I felt about the players having known them, known their qualities as people, known their capabilities as players and what we have done is gone from strength to strength and I love seeing the development and evolution of the team."
"The underlying feeling at the moment is immense pride in the performance levels, the character. Whatever was thrown at us tonight, I thought we dealt with it really well and played a game that was needed coming to a place like this."
Brentford secured a 3-2 victory over Newcastle at St James' Park, with Dango Ouattara scoring the decisive 85th-minute goal. Vitaly Janelt headed an equaliser from Ouattara's cross after clearing Yoane Wissa's header off the line, and Igor Thiago converted a penalty to put Brentford ahead before Bruno Guimaraes levelled from the spot. The win completed Brentford's second-ever league double over Newcastle and moved them level on points with Liverpool. Brentford's away form has markedly improved, with four wins in their last five road matches despite earlier losses and the departure of key personnel.
