Brentford moved into the mid-table position of the Championship with a 3-0 win at Swansea City last night, as Thomas Frank’s side secure back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

Having staged a late comeback win against Millwall at the weekend, Brentford crossed the border into South Wales last night and left as victors.

Said Benrahma opened the scoring with a curling effort on the half-hour mark and Swansea’s Jake Bidwell put one past his own keeper to double the Bees’ lead.

Bryan Mbuemo the third and second in as many games, with another ranged effort beating Swansea keeper Freddie Woodman.

The win takes Brentford to 12th in the Championship and four points off the play-off places, as the pressure on Frank begins to ease after what was a weak start to the season.

Here we take a look at three things we learned about Brentford last night:

Dynamic front-three

Brentford’s front-three of Berahma, Mbuemo and the league’s joint top-scorer Ollie Watkins ran riot at the Liberty Stadium last night.

Watkins’ goals were the main source of Brentford’s points in the earlier parts of the season, but they’re quickly finding more goalscorers in their team.

Frank’s side lined-up in a 4-3-3 formation last night, in what was arguably their best all-round performance of the season yet.

He’ll hope that the trio of Benrahma, Mbuemo and Watkins can really gel in the run-in to the New Year, and put Brentford in an unlikely position to push for the play-offs.

Sturdy defence

Swansea never really trouble Brentford last night, which is a huge credit to Brentford given that the home side had 17 shots in the game.

Dominating possession as well, Brentford put in a real workmanlike performance to push Swansea aside last night and leave with all the points.

When out of possession last night, every player on the pitch for Brentford chipped in defensively and that’s a trait which will fair them well throughout the season, especially against the bigger teams in the league.

It was Brentford’s first clean sheet since August, and Frank will be hoping that his team can use it to start building some momentum.

Frank’s tactical tweak

Brentford have now won three of their last five, losing just once.

Since the change from 3-4-3 to 4-3-3 in their 3-1 win against Barnsley at the end of last month, Brentford have looked a completely different team.

They’ve realised their attacking potential and last night showed their qualities at the back in keeping Swansea at bay. Frank’s transformed his season and go into the West London derby on Monday in good stead.
