Burnley secured a crucial 2-1 victory against Brentford in a tense match at Turf Moor. Sergio Reguilon's early red card led to Jacob Bruun Larsen converting a penalty. David Datro Fofana had a mixed performance, missing a sitter but later scoring. Kristoffer Ajer pulled one back for Brentford, but Burnley held on for the win, boosting their survival hopes.
🐝 Bryan Mbeumo’s return was the only positive for #BrentfordFC in their 2-1 defeat to Burnley 😪 Everybody is feeling frustrated with the situation and a two week break might be the best thing to reset and recharge @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/uExPRv5ADG

Well, the good news is Luton scored a late equaliser so Brentford's position in the table won't change. The bad news is they have lost 2-1 to Burnley.
FT: Burnley 2-1 Brentford GET IN!! BIG WIN!! Burnley keep their survival hopes alive. They were excellent for 75 minutes, controlling the game against 10-man Brentford but just about survived a late onslaught. Nine games to go. #twitterclarets
Brentford have the ball in the net but a foul is given. Looped cross. Toney and Muric challenge. Muric fouled. #twitterclarets
Brentford have the ball in the net but the referee has not given it?! Looks like Toney potentially fouls Muric as Baptiste's cross loops up in the air
Burnley sub: Amdouni off. Brownhill on. #twitterclarets
Brentford free-kick, Toney fouled by Amdouni around 30 yards from goal. Mbeumo going to take
Game on! Kristoffer Ajer pulls one back for Brentford with a pinpoint diving header from a Shandon Baptiste cross 🔥 Will the Bees find an equaliser? 🐝 #BURBRE
Goal for Brentford. 2-1. Ajer. #twitterclarets
That man again for Burnley 🔥 David Datro Fofana has been directly involved in five of the Claret's last eight Premier League goals. #BBCFootball #BURBRE https://t.co/s5pkpf54Lw
DAVID DATRO FOFANA GOAL. Quite the day for Burnley forward. Between howler of a miss, goalkeeper thievery and this breakaway goal, it's a Perfect Hat Trick of Chaos for Darwin Nunez Jr. ☹️😮🙂 https://t.co/zPOTxp65OU
Burnley make it TWO ⚽️⚽️ After a first half miss to forget, David Fofana makes amends with a cool finish to Mark Flekken's bottom right hand corner 🎯 https://t.co/OLe12PSdeq
GOAL FOR BURNLEY!!!!! 2-0!!!!! FOFANA!!!!! #twitterclarets
All Burnley to start the second half. Getting closer to that second goal, but they need to get it to settle the likely nerves later in the half. #twitterclarets
Burnley get the second half started. #twitterclarets
AMAZING MOMENT as DAVID DATRO FOFANA nearly pulls off successful goalie sneak attack against Brentford. 🤯 Burnley forward hides, then steals ball, only for Mark Flekken to recover at last second. New Agent of Chaos emerging at Turf Moor. https://t.co/vis5u4YF4X
MISS OF THE SEASON CONTENDER 😖 David Datro Fofana fails to convert a tap-in for Burnley. Look away, Clarets Fans. https://t.co/F9BgMSV7gM
This is a huge game for Brentford and they started it in the worst possible way with Reguilon's red card and Bruun Larsen scoring from the spot. Showed little signs of improvement during the rest of the half. Poor Mbeumo might need to be dragged off the bench to help out
HALF-TIME: Burnley 1-0 Brentford Luton 0-1 Nott'm Forest #BURBRE | #LUTNFO https://t.co/gmSuB5xlmQ
HT: Burnley 1-0 Brentford Well this is going very well. A goal up and a man up after JBL's early penalty following Reguilon's red card. The key is managing the game. They must not switch off like they did right at the end of the half. Second goal is key. #twitterclarets
Huge save Muric! Brentford play a quick freekick and Toney releases Wissa in behind. Only Muric to beat but the GK produces a big save. #twitterclarets
It should be 2-0 Burnley Datro Fofana with a shocking miss from a couple of yards out
