End of 2nd Half
FT
Full-time: Brentford have done it! They've come from behind to beat Watford and move TEN points clear of the relegation zone! They're now closer to the Champions League spots than the bottom three! Watford, on the other hand, remain three points clear of the drop - and have played two games more than 18th-placed Burnley.
90'+5
GOAL! Brentford 2-1 Watford (Bryan Mbeumo, pen): Brentford will take all three points! Mbeumo waits for Bachmann to commit before sliding the ball into the opposite corner! What a HUGE win this will be!

Penalty to Brentford! Troost-Ekong clearly catches Ghoddos, who goes down and gives Michael Oliver absolutely no choice but to point to the spot!

FIVE minutes will be added on!
89'
Watford's goalscorer Dennis is replaced by Ozan Tufan as Ranieri looks to protect his side's point.
89'
It's all one-way traffic as Brentford pile on the pressure in search of a winner. They force a corner, it bounces around inside the Watford box and Joao Pedro hacks it off the line!
87'
After a lengthy check, the goal STANDS! The captain Jansson scores his first goal for Brentford. Has he rescued them a point?
84'
GOAL! Brentford 1-1 Watford (Pontus Jansson): Brentford are level! The visitors can only partially clear from a corner. The ball is kept alive, Forss flicks on the cross and Jansson heads in at the far post... but is it going to count?! VAR is checking for a potential offside!

A chance at the other end! The visitors break on the counter, Dennis switching the ball to King on the left of the penalty area. His efforts lack power however and can only draw the save from Fernandes.
73'
Save! Bachmann to Watford's rescue as he stretches to keep out Janelt's diagonal shot.
72'
The free-kick from Cucho is a poor one and fails to test Fernandes in the Brentford goal.
70'
Jansson cynically fouls Sissoko and Watford fans are demanding a red card is produced! But they have to settle for Michael Oliver's yellow card and a free-kick in a dangerous area.
