Brentford Edge Ipswich in Thrilling 4-3 Victory with Last-Minute Bryan Mbeumo Goal

Bryan Mbeumo's dramatic stoppage-time goal secured a thrilling comeback victory for Brentford against winless Ipswich at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Kieran McKenna's side were dreaming of their first Premier League win in over two decades when Sammie Szmodics and George Hirst put his side two goals up with just over half an hour played.

Three minutes after Szmodics' opening goal, which was finely finished, Hirst, who replaced Liam Delap in the Tractor Boys' starting XI, latched onto a teasing through ball from Conor Chaplin and lifted the ball over Mark Flekken.

Thomas Frank's side were intent on maintaining their unbeaten home record and with Yoane Wissa back in the side were given a lifeline as the DR Congo international finished off a sweeping counter.

A buoyant Wissa was involved again with Brentford's second, as he poked an effort which crept under Ipswich goalkeeper Arijanet Muric, with Harry Clarke sliding the ball into his own net in his attempts to prevent it going in.

Clarke's afternoon went from bad to worse as he was in the spotlight again after half-time when he dragged Keane Lewis-Potter down in the box to give away a penalty which Mbeumo converted to complete the Bees' comeback.

Lewis-Potter, troubling the full-back once again, then lured Clarke into another late challenge, this time on the edge of the area resulting in a second yellow card for the defender, and therefore a red.

The visitors thought they had rescued a point when Delap got on the end of a Leif Davis cross to put them on terms with four minutes remaining, but Mbeumo was the hero for the home side as his inswinging cross confused Muric and found the net.

The result moves Brentford into ninth place in the Premier League while Ipswich remain fixed in 17th, but could move into the relegation zone should Crystal Palace beat Tottenham on Sunday.
