Brentford came away from the Stadium of Light with all three points after a fairly comfortable win over struggling Sunderland. The Bees were quick out of the blocks and after going close a couple of times, took a deserved lead when Kamo Mokotjo slammed the ball home from outside the area after being teed up by Neil Maupay.
The young French striker then added the second goal himself, thanks to a fantastic back-heal. In truth it could have been more. Sunderland came back into the game more after the break, but in truth, the visitors rarely looked under genuine threat and the 1,200-plus Brentford fans went home very happy.
The video above, taken before, after and during the match captures the match-day vibe, and the post-match podcast (link below) gives you even more insight into what the win meant to Bees fans.
