It was a relatively stress-free night for Brentford as they brushed aside Oldham Athletic to progress to the next round of the Carabao Cup following a 7-0 victory against the Latics. football.london looked at some of the biggest talking points from the demolition at Lionel Road.
Ruthless Reds
Thomas Frank said in his press conference that all eyes were on this game tonight, as opposed to the mouth-watering clash with Liverpool on Saturday and on the evidence provided in the first half, he was certainly true to his word.
A 5-0 lead at the break all but proving Brentford came into this clash with the utmost professionalism as well as performing at their full capabilities.
Feeling the Fourss
Irrespective of the opposition, scoring four goals will have done Marcus Forss an enormous amount of good. The Finn is below Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo in the striker department but will have shown Frank he can step up if needed.
The Finn has plenty of potential and he certainly showed it tonight. Performances like tonight will certainly force Frank's hand if needs must.
Fabulous Fosu
This was the Ghanaian's first appearance of the season, and he showed he can play a part in Brentford's season with performances like tonight. He was very positive in Brentford's attacking play, stretching Oldham's defence and putting in a number of crosses.
After seeing a loan move fall through, this is a perfect opportunity for Fosu to keep his head down and work hard. On his day, he can certainly give Brentford another dimension going forward.
