Greenwood tapped in from a counter-attack seven minutes later and substitute Rashford rifled in his side’s third in the 77th minute to leave Brentford stunned.
Ivan Toney pulled a goal back from close range with five minutes remaining but it was scant consolation for the hosts who slumped to a third successive defeat.
