HAVING been absent last August as Brentford were denied a place in the Premier League via the play-offs, Bees fans celebrated wildly in person as they secured promotion on Saturday afternoon.

Ivan Toney’s penalty and Emiliano Marcondes’s strike in the opening 20 minutes proved that the west London side were too much for Swansea, who failed to muster a single shot on target throughout the match.

With each goal, Brentford players waved their arms to the crowd to pump them up even more, their return a welcome sight after a very long and difficult 15 months without them.
