- Brentford worked themselves into the top half of the Premier League table with a 2-0 over Brighton & Hove Albion on Friday Night Football.
- Last Man In Saman Ghoddos only touched the ball once in his 10 minutes of substitute play for the Bees. That kept Mike and Ryan with the standard 6.5 rating for the afternoon.
- Solly March (Andrew) and Leandro Trossard (Scott) struggled to get anything going on either side of Brighton's 4 man midfield. March (6.7) and Trossard (6.8) each had three key passes but none led to any direct goal scoring opportunities.
- The highest scoring Brentford player for the day was Matt's pick Vitaly Janelt. The German central midfielder won 80% of his duels and completed 86% of his passes to finish on a 7.4 rating in the victory.
- But the stalemate at the summit of the Premier League Pick One Challenge continued as both Pavli and Trevor selected Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister. The Argentinian became the third man to earn multiple top scores on the season (Dean Henderson, Harry Kane) with a 7.5 for the Seagulls.
- Optimally, Brentford's Ivan Toney, the scorer of the game's two goals, pulled down an impressive 8.6 as his side shut down the team directly ahead of them in the standings.
