Brentford vs Everton score, goals and highlights after the 3-1 Premier League win over Brentford
Thomas Frank knew what was coming but, despite his immense talent and the squad he has crafted so carefully in west London, he could do little about it.
His programme notes predicted the threat Everton would pose, the Brentford boss anticipating a fight against intense pressing, dangerous crosses and second ball battles. After the lacklustre display against Arsenal, Blues could have been forgiven for wondering what Frank was basing his assessment on. But his foresight was remarkably accurate.
Everton’s best display of the season was a box-ticking exercise as Sean Dyche’s men addressed criticism after criticism of recent performances to run rampant in the capital. This was a riot against a good side - a much-needed boost amid the chaos of the club’s off-field drama and a valuable foothold into a tough campaign.
Everton were hungrier, stronger and quicker than Brentford across much of this match, none more so than at the beginning of each half. The aftermath of the defeat to Arsenal was dominated by discussion over Dyche’s preferred midfield three of Amadou Onana, Idrissa Gueye and Abdoulaye Doucoure and its inability to assert any control or authority at Goodison Park. Dyche kept his faith in the partnership and in the opening 30 minutes in west London the unit delivered a near-perfect response.
