Brentford Shocks United in a 7-Goal Thriller
In a night of football no one saw coming, Brentford delivered a stunning blow to Manchester United, clinching a wild 4–3 win at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Things started on a high note for United when Mason Mount found the net early in the 14th minute. But any hopes of a comfortable evening were quickly shattered.
By the 27th minute, a moment of misfortune saw Luke Shaw accidentally steer the ball into his own goal, handing Brentford the equaliser and sparking a shift in momentum. The home side wasted no time — Kevin Schade fired Brentford ahead just minutes later.
Schade wasn’t done. He returned in the second half to bag his second of the night, pushing the scoreline to 3–1. And when Yoane Wissa added another just four minutes later, Brentford looked firmly in control at 4–1.
United, however, weren’t ready to wave the white flag. Alejandro Garnacho pulled one back in the 82nd minute, and Amad Diallo added another deep into stoppage time, closing the gap to 4–3. But the final whistle came too soon for any more heroics.
The match laid bare United’s ongoing struggles at the back and raised fresh questions about their ability to hold steady under pressure. Brentford, on the other hand, showed heart, grit, and the kind of energy that turns a tough fixture into a memorable victory.
The result sees Brentford climb to 9th in the table, while United slide to 15th, just two points above the drop zone with only three matches left to play.
