Peter Schmeichel pointed the finger of blame at Aaron Wan-Bissaka after Kristoffer Ajer found a dramatic late equaliser in Brentford’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
Second-half substitute Mason Mount appeared to have secured victory with a well-taken strike deep into stoppage time at the Gtech Community Stadium, only for Ajer to hit back in the 99th minute to salvage a deserved point for the hosts.
Thomas Frank’s Bees managed 31 shots across the game, compared to United’s tally of 11, with the visitors’ performance passing no resemblance to the showing that saw them knock Liverpool out of the FA Cup prior to the international breakThe result meant Brentford opened up a five-point gap between themselves and the dreaded drop zone, while the Red Devils remain stranded in sixth, 11 points off fourth-placed Aston Villa in the table.
In his post-match interview, a downbeat Erik ten Hag suggested Brentford ‘wanted it more’ than his players and legendary ex-United goalkeeper Schmeichel agreed with the Dutchman’s damning statement as he analysed the display in the SuperSport studio.
