It was the 17th time someone had been sent off in this Premier League season.

After seeing the game out it meant the Bees have now dropped eight points from winning positions this season, the joint-most of any team along with Bournemouth, with today being the fourth time this season they have failed to win despite taking the lead, also drawing against Tottenham, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth from such a position.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s disappointing. We took the lead and they had a man sent off. When you don&#8217;t leave the pitch with three points you will always be disappointed afterwards,&#8221; Brentford captain and goalscorer Norgaard told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s very difficult even though you&#8217;re one man more. You saw with Tottenham yesterday how difficult it was to score with two men more. Even though I thought we created enough chances in the end to score, I think we were unlucky. It was nice to get my first goal of the season but annoying we couldn&#8217;t capitalise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Less than 24 hours after Tottenham&#8217;s contentious win over Liverpool there was more VAR drama as Nottingham Forest and Brentford played out a 1-1 draw at the City Ground this afternoon.
