'No one is dropping off' - Leeds United fans react as Brentford breeze past Derby County

Brentford's relentless post-lockdown form has continued after they registered a sixth straight win since the restart to maintain the pressure on Leeds United and West Brom in the automatic promotion plaves.

The Bees made a dream start when Ollie Watkins was on hand to slot in the rebound after Bryan Mbeumo's shot hit the base of the post after just three minutes.

But the hosts would soon grow into the match and found themselves level on 29 minutes when Wayne Rooney squared the ball to Jason Knight who beat Bees goalkeeper David Raya.

Brentford would start the second half as they started the first though, with Said Benrahma's 49th minute shot squirming under Rams stopper Ben Hamer.

The Algerian scored a superb second on 64 minutes when he came inside from the left-hand side and fired a long-range curling shot past Hamer to seal the points.

The win sees Frank's side move within a point of West Brom and three of Leeds, ahead of the top two's matches against Blackburn and Swansea respectively this weekend.

Here's how Leeds fans reacted to the result at Pride Park...

West Brom are in action at 3pm on Saturday when they visit Blackburn Rovers, while Leeds go to Swansea on Sunday.
