Report and highlights as Brentford beat Burnley 3-0 to earn first home win of season; goals from Yoane Wissa, Bryan Mbeumo and Saman Ghoddos end six-game winless run; Bees win after ‘strange’ VAR call to disallow Neal Maupay’s eighth-minute goal; Burnley’s Connor Roberts sent off late on
Brentford overcame a controversial VAR decision to beat Burnley 3-0 and earn their first home win of the season with Bryan Mbeumo and Saman Ghoddos scoring stunning goals after Yoane Wissa’s opener.
Brentford thought they had taken an eighth-minute lead when Neal Maupay finished off Nathan Collins’ pull back from a free-kick only for the goal to be disallowed for offside.
The decision went to VAR but, despite Collins clearly being onside the goal was ruled out because Kristoffer Ajer, who was in an offside position but a few yards away from Collins, was deemed to be interfering with play. The decision was labelled “strange” by former Premier League referee Mike Dean on Soccer Saturday

Mbeumo then turned goalscorer in the second half as he curled a wonderful first-time effort from outside the box to double the home side’s lead in the 62nd minute.
Burnley’s hopes of a comeback were effectively ended in the 78th minute when defender Connor Roberts was sent off for a second yellow card for bringing down Wissa.
