Brentford secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Sheffield United at the Gtech Community Stadium, marking their first win in 10 games and since February, a significant step towards safety in the league. The match saw an initial goal from Damsgaard, which was later disallowed due to a foul in the build-up, a decision deemed incredibly harsh on Brentford after a VAR check. However, Brentford took the lead with an own goal by Oliver Arblaster, deflected from Damsgaard's cross, and doubled their advantage through Frank Onyeka's first goal for the team. The win ended Brentford's nine-match winless streak, providing a much-needed boost for Thomas Frank's side. 'It wasn't pretty but who cares,' reflected the sentiment around the victory.
