Brentford boss Thomas Frank said he was both happy and irritated after his side's thrilling 4-3 win over Ipswich Town. The Bees went 2-0 down but battled all the way back to lead 3-2, before Liam Delap looked to have snatched Town a late point. But Bryan Mbeumo's 96th minute cross evaded everyone and nestled in the Town net to give Brentford a dramatic win.

"I’m completely split," he confessed. "I’m happy because we cannot take anything for granted for winning in the Premier League, we’ve been so good offensively for a lot of the minutes in the game, and for showing the mentality to come back.

"In the last five minutes of the first half and in the second half, clearly we were the better team, but we didn’t kill the game. It’s not that we didn’t try to go for the (goal to make it) 4-2.
We tried to get it but it didn’t come for whatever reason. "Then they equalised and you thought we were close to losing two points. They equalised with their one chance of the second half.

.. it was mental! The first 40 minutes was probably the worst we’ve had in the Premier League.
“But to go from that, to getting in front, to getting pegged back again, to scoring the winner...
I don’t really know what to say!” Keane Lewis-Potter said the win was 'mental' (Image: PA) He added: "Me and (Christian) Nørgaard just spoke about the chances we had and we should’ve buried them, to be honest. It could have been 4-2 or 5-2. "If you don’t finish those chances, you let them get back into the game, which they did.
"Seeing them equalise, you feel empty inside, you don’t know what to do; then we scored the winner and it’s the complete opposite feeling, you feel on top of the world!” WATCH: Stu and Alex react to Brentford defeat.
