Brentford took the lead after earning a Penalty as Ivan Toney was fouled in the box by Marçal. As a result, in the 28th minute Ivan Toney converts the penalty as he finds the bottom right corner and sends Wolves Goalkeeper José Sá the wrong way.
However, six minutes later, in the 34th minute, The Bees double their lead as the 22-year-old Bryan Mbeumo scores his first Premier League goal with an assist by Ivan Toney as he passed the ball across the box.
