Sky Sports – LONDON, Brentford extended their unbeaten run in the Sky Bet Championship and climbed to second in the table as they came from behind to beat Bristol City 3-2.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dean Holden’s Robins took a surprise lead through Zak Vyner after their first real attack of the game (3), but the hosts rallied and pulled level shortly before the half-hour mark when Sergi Canos tucked home after goalkeeper Daniel Bentley had pushed Tariqe Fosu’s cross into his path (27).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The irrepressible Ivan Toney added his 20th of a remarkable campaign after the break (50), while Fosu was the architect once again 15 minutes later when Saman Ghoddos extended the Bees’ lead (65).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nahki Wells came off the bench to add a second for the visitors late on (90), but it was not enough to prevent a sixth straight defeat on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas Frank’s side climb above Swansea into second as a result, four points behind current leaders Norwich and with a game in hand, while Bristol City sit ninth, three points outside the play-off places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Bristol City having lost each of their last five away fixtures and Brentford unbeaten since October – and fresh from a 7-2 win over Wycombe at the weekend – the narrative of the game almost looked to have been decided before a ball had been kicked in west London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet inside the first 180 seconds, the Robins edged ahead. Teenage debutant Owura Edwards won a free-kick on the left-hand side, with Jack Hunt’s delivery floating through a crowd and to the far post, where Vyner broke free of Ethan Pinnock’s clutches to apply the finishing touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unsurprisingly, the hosts flew out of the traps as they searched for an equaliser and shortly before the half-hour, they had it. Fosu got the better of ex-Bee Alfie Mawson on the right flank and fizzed in a cross that was taken away from Toney by Daniel Bentley, only to fall straight to Canos, who finished calmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City defended well throughout, but could do little about the manner in which Toney struck his fourth in two games. Fosu collected a pass from Mathias Jensen and threaded the ball into the frontman, who did not break stride as he thumped in an emphatic effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brentford’s third goal was almost a carbon copy, with a killer ball from Fosu allowing Ghoddos to first slam a shot onto the crossbar and then tuck home following a fortunate bounce off Hunt – their 10th goal in just two games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a hint of offside when Wells collected a pass inside the area and finished beyond the protesting David Raya, but there was little time to mount a comeback as Brentford collected an important three points towards their end goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
